First Aid for Anaphylaxis in English and other Languages

Anaphylaxis is the most severe type of allergic reaction and should always be treated as a medical emergency. Anaphylaxis requires immediate treatment with adrenaline (epinephrine). If treatment with adrenaline is delayed, this can result in fatal anaphylaxis. 

Most cases of anaphylaxis occur after a person is exposed to the allergen they are allergic to (usually a food, insect or medication).

The following translations of First Aid for Anaphylaxis were funded by an educational grant from the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN).
