Abstract

Idiopathic anaphylaxis involves episodes of anaphylaxis without a specific trigger. Management includes antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, but some patients fail to respond to this treatment. Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, is not approved for treatment of idiopathic anaphylaxis, but has been used in patients with idiopathic anaphylaxis under concurrent diagnoses of allergic asthma or chronic idiopathic urticaria. We describe the clinical response to omalizumab in patients with idiopathic anaphylaxis without evidence of mast cell clonality.
