Abstract

It is not possible to predict when anaphylaxis will occur [1, 2]. There is no firm correlation between serum level of immunoglobulin E, how florid the reaction to cutaneous testing has been, or how marked previous reactions were and subsequent anaphylactic response, and this lack of correlation renders accurate prediction impossible [3].
