Is this anaphylaxis driven by clonal mast-cell disease?

REMA Score

Gender

  • Male:
    • +1 point
  • Female:
    • -1 point

Clinical Symptoms

  • Pruritus/Hives/Angioedema:
    • Presence (-2)
    • Absence (+1)
  • Presyncope/Syncope:
    • Presence (+3) 

Serum Tryptase

  • Serum Tryptase:
    • <15 µg/l (-1)
    • >25 µg/l (+2)

Score Interpretation

  • Score ≥2 = A high likelihood of clonal mast cells, often prompting a bone marrow biopsy to rule out systemic mastocytosis.
  • Score <2 = May suggest other diagnostics like KIT mutation analysis or hereditary alpha-tryptasemia testing are needed
