Objective:

To report cases of anaphylactic shock following fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and multiple food intolerances (FI).

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Both children experienced anaphylactic shock after FMT, marking the first report of such events in pediatric patients.
    • Case 1 had early-stage shock linked to IgG-mediated type III hypersensitivity.
    • Case 2 exhibited classic anaphylactic shock with a biphasic course.
    • Both children improved with anti-allergy and anti-shock treatment, and one successfully underwent subsequent FMT.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • The cases are limited to two patients, which may not represent the broader population.
    • Lack of established clinical strategies for risk prevention and management in this high-risk subgroup.
    Conclusion:
