Dear Editor, We have read with attention and interest the Tsea et al. manuscript [1] entitled “Post mortem tryptase cut-off level for anaphylactic death” where a 5-year retrospective study has compared totaltryptase levels in the femoral blood of 9 anaphylactic deaths and 45 controls. A cut-off of 53.8 mg/L was identified for total post mortem tryptase in femoral blood with a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 93% through a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to diagnose anaphylaxis.
