Anaphylaxis in Latin American children and adolescents: The Online Latin American Survey on Anaphylaxis (OLASA)

Abstract

Cutaneous symptoms ranked the order of clinical presentation of SAR. Food was the main triggering agent in the younger cases and insect sting and drugs in the adolescents. Treatment provided for SAR was not appropriate. It is necessary to improve educational programmes in order to enhance the knowledge on this potentially fatal emergency.
