Purpose Of Review:
The goal of this review is to characterize health disparities impacting the recognition and treatment of anaphylaxis.
Recent Findings:
Previous research has identified major health disparities related to atopic conditions including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies (FA); however, disparities related to anaphylaxis have yet to be examined in depth. We found widespread health disparities in the incidence and severity of anaphylaxis, as well as in the management of allergies (particularly food allergies) that place individuals at risk of anaphylaxis. Sociodemographic factors are associated with numerous negative health outcomes related to anaphylaxis. We highlight several key steps that must be taken to address these disparities.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
