Food allergies, especially peanut allergies, can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis. This review focuses on peanut allergy reactions affecting multiple organs or the cardiovascular system.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Food allergies are a significant public health concern, with peanut allergy being a primary trigger for anaphylaxis.
  • Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, involves IgE-mediated hypersensitivity and can be fatal, causing approximately 125 deaths annually in the USA.
  • The reaction results from the release of mediators affecting various organs, presenting with diverse signs and symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To focus on allergic reactions to peanuts.
  • To describe peanut allergy manifestations involving multiple target organs or the cardiovascular system.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations of anaphylaxis.
  • Focus on IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions.

  • Analysis of symptoms affecting cutaneous, respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Peanut allergy is a common cause of food-induced anaphylaxis.
    • Anaphylaxis presents with a wide range of symptoms affecting multiple organ systems.
    • Cardiovascular involvement or multi-organ symptoms are key features of severe peanut allergic reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Peanut allergy necessitates careful management due to its potential for severe anaphylaxis.
    • Understanding the diverse clinical manifestations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • This article highlights the critical role of recognizing multi-organ or cardiovascular symptoms in peanut allergy.
