Exercise-induced anaphylaxis: a case report and review of the literature

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIAn) is a rare, unpredictable, and potentiallyfatal cause of anaphylaxis which occurs with physical exhaustion. To the bestof our knowledge, here we report the first case of EIAn from Turkey with noprior history of allergy. A detailed patient history is the most crucial point inthe diagnosis of EIAn. The triggering and co-factors should be questioned indetail to determine treatment recommendations.
