Table 2 Difficulties in Maintaining an Anaphylaxis Register
From: Eight Years of Severe Allergic Reactions in Finland: A Register-Based Report
Problem | Solution | Suggestion |
|---|---|---|
1. Lack of definition of anaphylaxis: anaphylactic reaction vs anaphylactic shock | Clinical diagnosis [17] | Combination of circulatory, dermatologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal symptoms |
2. Not all reactions are reported | Improvement of knowledge and vigilance system | FAAA Ga2len network |
3. Not all allergens are considered | Exchange of register information | FAAA Ga2len network |
4. Allergen not identified | More resources, better organized testing | All anaphylaxis patients should be seen by an allergologist |
