Every patient has a story of symptoms, could it be systemic mastocytosis?
Recognising common symptoms is just the beginning. Systemic mastocytosis (SM) can present in patients as a range of unpredictable and debilitating symptoms across multiple organ systems—from skin lesions, anaphylaxis and diarrhoea, to organ damage1
Early diagnosis of disease and active management of life-threatening symptoms, such as anaphylaxis, are critical2,3
What is anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis, a result of mast cell mediator release, is an acute and suddenly occurring systemic hypersensitivity reaction in multiple organ systems. In severe episodes, patients may experience palpitations, dizziness and reduced blood pressure due to vasodilation4,5
