From the Pages of Allergy Watch

For this installment of ‘From the Pages of Allergy Watch’ I've selected articles from the July-Aug issue. The first, reviewed by Dr Lee, suggests that pretreatment with H1& H2 antihistamines and montelukast can reduce the risk for reaction to COVID-19 vaccination. The next, reviewed by Dr Hernandez-Trujillo, reports data suggesting that alpha-gal allergy can be a problem even in areas not endemic for the lone star tick. The last article, reviewed by Dr Joshi, presented data suggesting that children with more severe atopic dermatitis are more likely to have learning disabilities.
