Atopy is a type I hypersensitivity reaction that involves IgE antibodies, leading to immediate allergic responses like hay fever and asthma.

Both atopy and anaphylaxis are mediated by an exaggerated immune response to normally harmless substances.
How does anaphylaxis fit in with the stages of shock?

In anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction results in widespread vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, leading to a rapid drop in blood pressure and inadequate perfusion of organs. This can progress to hypovolemic shock due to fluid loss from the vasculature.
