It's a pretty good description of what happens during anaphylaxis... too bad it doesn't say anything about mast cell disorders.

Classification

The term anaphylaxis is often used only for a severe allergic reaction affecting the whole body. A second term, non-allergic anaphylaxis, may be used to describe identical reactions that are not caused by allergy, but involve other mechanisms in the body.

The clinical diagnosis and management are identical, whatever the cause of the anaphylaxis.   Whatever the cause in clueds all mast cell disorders
