Recognising common symptoms is just the beginning. Systemic mastocytosis (SM) can present in patients as a range of unpredictable and debilitating symptoms across multiple organ systems—from skin lesions, anaphylaxis and diarrhoea, to organ damage1

Early diagnosis of disease and active management of life-threatening symptoms, such as anaphylaxis, are critical2,3
