Question

choose the statement that does not describe the anaphylactic response to test your understanding of anaphylaxis
multiple choice
allergen route of entry is always due to inhalation.
all statements describe the anaphylactic response.
allergens do not act directly on the target organ.
it is associated with greatly amplified concentration of chemical mediators.
sudden respiratory and circulatory disruption can be fatal in mere minutes.

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect statement about anaphylaxis:

• Anaphylactic allergens can enter via ingestion, injection, etc., not just inhalation. So "Allergen route of entry is always due to inhalation" is false.
• "All statements describe..." is wrong as we identified a false one.
• Allergens act via immune response, not directly on organs (true).
• Anaphylaxis has amplified chemical mediators (true).
• Respiratory/circulatory disruption can be fatal quickly (true).

The false statement is "Allergen route of entry is always due to inhalation".

Answer:

A. Allergen route of entry is always due to inhalation
