🚨 Anaphylaxis Trigger Identification Simulator

Food-Triggered Anaphylaxis — Recognizing the Pattern

Food allergens are a leading cause of anaphylaxis worldwide.

• Peanut, tree nut: Common foods (Top pediatric triggers)
• 10–60 min: Typical onset (After ingestion)
• Oral / ingestion: Route (GI absorption first)
• GI + skin + resp: Key sign (Multi-system pattern)

Clinical clues for food triggers

Short placeholder: symptoms follow a meal, GI signs prominent, delayed onset compared to venom.

Insect Sting Venom — Rapid Systemic Reaction

Hymenoptera stings cause some of the fastest anaphylaxis onsets.

• Bee, wasp, ant: Common insects (Venom-injecting stings)
• 1–15 min: Typical onset (After sting)
• Intradermal venom: Route (Direct systemic entry)
• Rapid cardiovascular drop: Key sign (Fast progression)

Clinical clues for venom triggers

Short placeholder: sting site visible, very fast onset, hypotension risk elevated.

Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis — Variable Kinetics

Medications trigger anaphylaxis via IV, oral, or topical routes.

• Antibiotics, NSAIDs: Common drugs (Frequent culprits)
• 1–30 min: Typical onset (Route-dependent)
• IV/IM/oral: Route (Fastest via IV)
• Temporal drug link: Key sign (Recent administration)

Clinical clues for drug triggers

Short placeholder: onset tied closely to dose timing, route changes speed.

Latex-Triggered Reaction — Contact & Mucosal Exposure

Latex exposure via gloves or devices can provoke anaphylaxis.

• Gloves, catheters: Common sources (Healthcare settings)
• 15–60 min: Typical onset (Contact-dependent)
• Skin/mucosal contact: Route (Slower absorption)
• Occupational history: Key sign (Repeated exposure risk)

Clinical clues for latex triggers

Short placeholder: healthcare or occupational exposure context, contact dermatitis history.

Integrating Exposure Timeline with Clinical Presentation

Combining onset timing and exposure history narrows the trigger.

• Time-to-onset: Key input (Minutes since exposure)
• Exposure route: Key input (Oral, sting, drug, contact)
• Likely category: Output (Ranked by pattern fit)
• Avoidance plan: Output (Trigger-specific advice)

Diagnostic synthesis approach

Short placeholder: match onset window and route to each candidate category.

Short placeholder: confirmatory testing follows clinical identification.
