Anaphylaxis-related posttraumatic stress disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic and disabling entity, which negatively impacts health and quality of life.

We hypothesized that the emotional sequelae of severe anaphylaxis have been overlooked thus far and warrant investigation. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)
