*Broad search using Anaphylaxis Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) as algorithm (based on applying Sampson's criteria as a bucket of search terms) plus the term hypersensitivity. These cases were all cases of hypersensitivity that did not meet criteria for anaphylaxis and none were serious hypersensitivity.
