  "term": "Anaphylactoid",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Describing a reaction that clinically resembles anaphylaxis but is not mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These reactions can be triggered by direct activation of mast cells or basophils, or by other non-immunological mechanisms, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators. Contrast with true anaphylaxis, which is IgE-dependent.",
