Polyethylene glycosylated (PEG)-asparaginase is a cornerstone of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and effective administration is associated with better outcomes. PEG-asparaginase is associated with a uniphasic hypersensitivity reaction in ∼10% to 20% of patients. We present a 17-year-old male individual diagnosed with very high-risk pre-B-ALL, who experienced protracted anaphylaxis 1 hour following administration of his second PEG-asparaginase dose. This type of allergic reaction has yet to be described in ALL patients treated with PEG-asparaginase. Here, we outline the time course and successful management of protracted anaphylaxis in an ALL patient.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening, systemic, hypersensitivity reaction, manifested by urticaria, hypotension, and respiratory symptoms. Antigens that are cleared renally may have protracted exposure in patients with impaired renal function, resulting in prolonged and refractory anaphylactic shock. After administration of sugammadex, a 47-year-old man developed prolonged, refractory anaphylactic shock, with anuria due to acute kidney injury.

Unlabelled: The most common cause of vasoplegic shock in critical care is sepsis. However, although rarely and only in specifically sensitised individuals previously bitten by a tick, red meat may provoke a delayed allergic reaction called an alpha-gal syndrome. We present a case of a protracted life-threatening manifestation of alpha-gal syndrome, which, due to an unusual absence of typical features of anaphylaxis can masquerade as septic shock and calls attention to the premature diagnostic closure as a contributor to diagnostic error.

After treating the acute anaphylactic reaction, the clinician's next task is to prevent a recurrence. The patient should be observed in the ED. How long this observation period should last depends on their clinical course, risk factors, and social support.

Tryptase is currently the main mast cell biomarker available in medical practice. Tryptase determination is a quantitative test performed in serum or plasma for the diagnosis, stratification, and follow-up of mast cell-related conditions. The continuous secretion of monomeric α and β protryptases forms the baseline tryptase level.
