Talk:Acute Allergy Syndrome

made up thing, duplicates real content in other articles
This is a made-up thing. There is no such thing as "acute allergy syndrome". There are hypersensitivity reactions, allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis but none of those are "syndromes" as that term is used medically. No sources are provided showing that this is a real thing, and there are none in pubmed. Jytdog (talk) 23:22, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


 * There are a few hits for this exact name outside of PubMed, but it's uncommon.
 * OTOH, "a significant hypersensitivity reaction [that] will benefit clinically from intramuscular adrenaline" is not a made-up thing; that's everyday stuff for emergency services. So I think that this might benefit from renaming or merging.  (Side note:  Why doesn't allergic reaction contain the phrase acute reaction?)  WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:39, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

 * good lord WAID that is the definition of anaphylaxis (which is not always fatal). this document is a work of SYN.  This is not a thing.  I used WP:G3 in the speedy nomination for the "blatant hoax" aspect of it. There are zero MEDRS sources supporting the ONTOPIC content of this gussied-up-to-look-like-a-real-thing document.   Whether it is an intentional hoax or an accidental one, it is a misrepresentation of reality, besides duplicating well-sourced content that already exists elsewhere.

 * It contains the word "Acute response". It also says "This type of reaction can be triggered suddenly, or the onset can be delayed."
 * "With this new classification, the word "allergy" was restricted to type I hypersensitivities (also called immediate hypersensitivity), which are characterized as rapidly developing reactions."
