Article Synopsis
- Etoposide phosphate is a chemotherapy drug used for treating certain cancers, but it can cause hypersensitivity reactions, including severe cases like anaphylaxis, requiring different management strategies.
- A 61-year-old woman with small-cell lung cancer experienced a severe allergic reaction during her treatment, resulting in cardiorespiratory arrest and requiring intensive medical intervention.
- The case management involved a successful 16-step desensitization protocol without premedication, highlighting the need for customized treatment plans based on individual patient reactions and available medical resources.

In allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, lirentelimab (a humanised monoclonal antibody against lectin 8), reduces patients' symptoms and atopic comorbidities. In severe asthma, tezepelumab (human monoclonal antibody) reduces the annual asthma exacerbation rate over 52 weeks.

Background: Fatal anaphylaxis is very rare, with an incidence ranging from 0.5 to 1 deaths per million person-years.
Objective: Based on a systematic review, we aimed to explain differences in the reported incidence of fatal anaphylaxis based on the methodological and demographic factors addressed in the various studies.
Background And Objective: Asthma is very prevalent in all grades of severity of anaphylaxis. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been associated with the severity of anaphylaxis. Objective: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the influence of respiratory diseases on the severity of anaphylaxis.
