Allergic reactions are hypersensitivity responses to allergens, ranging from mild skin irritation to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Symptoms vary widely and are caused by an immune response.

Allergic reactions are hypersensitivity responses triggered by exposure to an allergen. These reactions can range from mild skin irritations to life-threatening anaphylaxis. The immune system mistakenly identifies a normally harmless substance as a threat and initiates an immune response, leading to the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. Symptoms may include skin rashes (urticaria), itching, swelling (angioedema), runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and a drop in blood pressure. Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction involving multiple organ systems.
