Anaphylaxis

Last revised: May 19, 2022 

Anaphylaxis is the most serious type of allergic reaction. It can progress very quickly and may cause death without proper medical attention. The initial diagnosis of anaphylaxis is made by a physician.

Your school's public health nurse can provide resources on anaphylaxis.
