Impact of Omalizumab on Food Allergy in Patients Treated for Asthma: A Real-Life Study

ConclusionsDuring treatment with omalizumab for severe uncontrolled asthma, the food allergen threshold increases to 8.6 times its original value. The quality of life of patients also increased, due to a better asthma control and a reduction in dietary restrictions. The cost/benefit ratio of such treatment for selected cases of food allergy remains to be evaluated.
