Several studies have assessed the knowledge of health professionals in recognition and treatment of anaphylaxis using case-based surveys with conflicting results [1-3]. The proportion of responders able to recognize anaphylaxis and treat with appropriate adrenaline ranged from 56% to 95% [1, 3]. The causes for this under optimal management are not clearly understood. In this context, EAACI anaphylaxis guidelines were recently updated. This article is protected by copyright.
