Abstract
A 56-year-old man with well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus, anxiety, depression, and hypercholesterolemia developed acute urticaria, lip angioedema, and respiratory distress after consumption of a cheeseburger, French fries, lemonade, and ibuprofen. He was evaluated in the emergency department and, during admission, developed asystole, diaphoresis, pallor, and a brief episode of posturing that was treated with two doses of epinephrine. Results of the initial workup with electrocardiogram, troponin, complete blood cell count, and comprehensive metabolic panel were normal. He was subsequently evaluated by an allergist for further recommendations.
