Résumé

In some cases, anaphylactic shock (AS) is still lethal, despite rapid use of epinephrine. High doses of epinephrine are associated with severe complications. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is secreted in massive amounts during AS, and a high plasma level is correlated with increased AS severity.
