1 in 300 people will experience anaphylaxis at some point in their lives. RCUK anaphylaxis guidelines provide an updated consensus for the recognition and management of anaphylaxis in all age groups.
Angioedema and Urticaria (hives) are part of a spectrum of allergic symptoms and occasionally have a non-allergic aetiology.
There are hundreds of skin diseases, many present with (often similar looking) rashes. Diagnosis of skin conditions can be a challenging task for non-dermatologists.
