Cold Anaphylaxis in Children: Italian Case Series and Review of the Literature. Diseases 2023; 11:143. [PMID: 37873787 PMCID: PMC10594430 DOI: 10.3390/diseases11040143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic urticaria (CU) is one of the most common skin disorders worldwide. Among the inducible subgroup of CU, cold urticaria (ColdU) can affect both children and adults and is the only type associated with the risk of anaphylaxis without cofactors. In the scientific literature, data about cold anaphylaxis (ColdA) are poor, especially at pediatric age, and little is known about risk factors associated with the onset of systemic reactions and about the criteria for prescribing adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) in these patients. We describe the clinical characteristics and management of a case series of 21 patients with a history of ColdA, and we compare them with the pediatric case reports and case series published so far. On the basis of the scientific literature and of our case series of patients, we suggest that AAI should be prescribed to all high-risk patients: those with urticaria caused by cold-water immersion, oropharyngeal reactions, and with a previous history of systemic symptoms or anaphylaxis.

Luo J, Chen Q, Min S, Yu J. Perioperative Anaphylaxis from a Perspective of Temperature. J INVEST SURG 2021; 35:833-840.

Abstract
Perioperative anaphylaxis poses a special challenge due to its unique condition with the additive effects of surgery and anesthesia, which tends to be more difficult to recognize, diagnose, and manage, resulting in potentially fatal outcomes. Appropriate prevention and treatment benefits patients and reduces mortality and morbidity. Significant body temperature changes occur during anaphylaxis and/or anesthesia, which correlates with the outcomes. During the perioperative period, body temperature and anaphylaxis bidirectionally interact with each other, and anaphylaxis is generally deteriorated by hypothermia, which is usually required in cardiac surgeries. Perioperative factors, such as surgery and anesthesia, affect body temperature and anaphylaxis. The complicated role of body temperature and its application in the diagnosis of perioperative anaphylaxis and prediction of the outcomes are still unclear. To date, a profile of body temperature change during perioperative anaphylaxis is lacking, which requires further study. This literature review was conducted with updated data on perioperative anaphylaxis from the perspective of temperature as a component aiming to bring attention to and offer some cues for improving perioperative prevention and management for perioperative medical teams.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08941939.2021.1922553 .
