[2]: 118 The rash may also be one of the potentially lethal severe cutaneous adverse reactions, the DRESS syndrome, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis. [3] [4] Systemic manifestations occur at the time of skin manifestations and include a high number of eosinophils in the blood, liver inflammation, and interstitial nephritis
Food allergies rarely cause respiratory (asthmatic) reactions, or rhinitis. [25] Insect stings, food, antibiotics , and certain medicines may produce a systemic allergic response that is also called anaphylaxis; multiple organ systems can be affected, including the digestive system , the respiratory system , and the circulatory system .

Each condition presents its own set of symptoms. In severe cases, certain allergies can lead to a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis.
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a type of severe skin reaction. [1] Together with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens–Johnson/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) overlap, they are considered febrile mucocutaneous drug reactions and probably part of the same spectrum of disease, with SJS being less severe.
