Anaphylactic shock ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaphylactic shock is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly. It is characterized by a systemic, severe inflammatory response, often triggered by allergens, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. It does not involve IgG antibodies (as stated in A) but is associated with IgE antibodies. It typically does not occur the first time an individual is exposed to an allergen (B) because the immune system needs to be sensitized to the allergen first. It involves the release of histamine (not antihistamine as stated in C) from mast cells. Anaphylactic shock is not a result of HIV infection (D).
