title: [Common mistakes in the treatment of patients with anaphylaxis].
abstract: Anaphyaxis is a situation threatening life and may occur at any age. Unfortunately, despite of the existence of up-dated guidelines for its treatment, many patients are wrongly diagnosed and treated and, sometimes, deaths are reported. This paper summarized the most common difficulties and mistakes that we have seen repeatedly in patients consulting to our services due to have suffered episodes of anaphylaxis in order to give orientation about implementation of plans of treatment of these reactions. The recommendations included in this document are derived from mentioned guidelines.
