  ABSTRACT: Anaphylaxis is a serious, generalized, hypersensitivity reaction which can be life threatening and one of the most serious medical emergencies. Anaphylaxis in pregnancy although rare, is attributed to the use of various drugs in pregnancy mainly following an administration of antibiotics. This review article describes several aspects of anaphylaxis such as aetiology, pathophysiology and management. Immediate recognition and initiation of treatment are the keys for satisfactory outcome. A multidisciplinary care and provision are other keys for achieving this good outcome.
