The patient was not seen in the emergency department, was not hospitalized, and was not admitted to an intensive care unit. There was multiorgan involvement with the anaphylactic reaction: Respiratory - bilateral wheeze/bronchospasm, upper airway swelling, respiratory distress, increased use of accessory respiratory muscles, dry cough, hoarse voice, difficulty breathing (without wheeze or stridor), sneezing, rhinorrhea; Cardiovascular - measured hypotension, shock, decreased level of consciousness; Dermatological/Mucosal - generalized pruritus with skin rash, generalized prickle sensation, localized injection site urticarial, red and itchy eyes; and Gastrointestinal - abdominal pain.
