This article reviews about the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features and differential diagnosis of anaphylaxis. An up-to-date information for assessment and management of anaphylaxis as given by World allergy organization [WAO] guildelines and NICE clinical guideline are summarized.
