AB More  than  50%  of  anaphylaxis  cases  are  idiopathic;  therefore,  a  high  index  of  suspicion  is  needed  to  make  the  diagnosis  in  children.Airway  compromise  can  occur  rapidly.Epinephrine  is  the  first-line  medication  for  the  treatment  of  moderate-to-severe  anaphylaxis.In  severe  anaphylaxis  if  2  to  3  fluid  boluses  (20  cc/kg)  are  given,  as  well  as  epinephrine;  if  hypotension  persists,  an  epinephrine  drip  is  indicated.
