Anaphylaxis, also known as anaphylactic shock, is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs rapidly after exposure to an allergen. It can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling, a drop in blood pressure, and can lead to shock. Immediate medical treatment, often with an injection of epinephrine, is crucial to prevent serious complications or death.
