| There are about 100,000 episodes of anaphylaxis in the United States each year, of which two thirds are new cases and almost 1% are fatal. Some 10% to 20% of the US population is at risk for anaphylaxis due to history of sensitization, with 20% more cases designated as idiopathic. An understanding of the mechanisms underlying anaphylaxis would contribute to better prevention and treatment. - What Is Anaphylaxis?
