Anaphylaxis Passive Direct

Introduction

Anaphylaxis is an acute allergic reaction that can occur as a result of exposure to certain substances in the human body. In this case, the person's immune system does not respond correctly to the antigen, resulting in life-threatening symptoms. Anaphylaxis is also called anaphylactic shock or anaphyloxia. It requires immediate medical attention and can be life-threatening for the patient.

1. What is passive anaphylaxis?

Passive anaphylaxis is a type of anaphylactic shock in which the antibody that causes the allergic reaction is present in the victim's blood but is not associated with the victim's immune system. This happens when a person receives antibodies from the blood of another patient. For example, if blood components are transfused or drugs containing antibodies are administered, the patient may experience an allergic reaction. Passive anaphylactic shock is more severe than active anaphylactic shock.
