AB Anaphylaxis,  urticaria,  and  angioedema  frequently  share  a  common  pathophysiology  in  that  these  conditions  most  commonly  result  from  IgE-mediated  mast  cell  activation  resulting  in  the  release  of  histamine,  leukotrienes,  and  other  mast  cell  mediators.  Urticaria  and  angioedema  are  isolated  to  mucocutaneous  symptoms  whereas  anaphylaxis  is  an  acute  systemic  reaction  that  may  rapidly  lead  to  cardiopulmonary  collapse.
