Cow's milk oral immunotherapy has differentially better long-term adherence than peanut or sesame
IgE-mediated food allergy is a global health problem.1,2 In recent years, several scientific societies have endorsed the use of off-the-shelf foods in clinical oral immunotherapy (OIT) practice.3 –5 Moreover, manufactured well-standardized peanut allergens have also been used.6 Our study aimed to evaluate and compare adherence to and safety of OIT in patients with different food allergens at the maintenance dose (MD) phase in a single center.

Sociodemographic factors linked to food allergy diagnosis among high-risk children with atopic dermatitis
CONCLUSION: Labeling at-risk young children with food allergy without thorough objective testing can impact their nutrition and quality of life. Barriers to equitable evaluation of food allergy diagnosis should be further investigated and addressed.PMID:38648973 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2024.04.016 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Prenatal Exposure to Air Pollutants Associated with Allergic Diseases in Children: Which Pollutant, When Exposure, and What Disease? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractThis systematic review aims to identify the association between prenatal exposure to air pollutants and allergic diseases in children, focusing on specific pollutants, timing of exposure, and associated diseases. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for English articles until May 1, 2023, examining maternal exposure to outdoor air pollutants (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, NO, NO2, SO2, CO, and O3) during pregnancy and child allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA),  asthma (AT) and allergic rhinitis (AR)/hay fever (HF)). The final 38 eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. Exposure ...

Tolerance induction through early feeding to prevent food allergy in infants and children with sensitization against food allergens (TIFFANI): rationale, study design, and methods of a randomized controlled trial
Children with sensitization against foods have to be orally food-challenged before eating these foods for the first time. However, the waiting time for an oral food challenge (OFC) in Germany is about 3 –6 mont... (Source: Trials)

The OUtMATCH study: treating multiple allergies
It is recognised that of those children who do have allergies (about 8% of the population), 30–80% have responses to multiple foods. A double blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial, the Omalizumab as Monotherapy and as Adjunct Therapy to Multi-Allergen Oral Immunotherapy in Food Allergic Participants (OUtMATCH) study is a three phase study comparing omalizumab to placebo in children with multiple food allergies and is in its first phase. The study then goes on to phase two, a longer-term (52 weeks) treatment with omalizumab with oral immunotherapy and then the third stage will assess the introduction of...

Basophil activation test in the food allergy clinic: its use current use and future applications
Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1080/1744666X.2024.2336568. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe basophil activation test (BAT) has shown evidence of high sensitivity and high specificity to support the diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy. It is a functional test that uses live cells analyzed by flow cytometry and thus needs to be performed within 24 h of blood collection. BAT has shown to be reproducible and reliable when tested in a clinical diagnostic laboratory with standardized protocols and flow cytometry settings. BAT has recently been included in Clinical Guidelines of Food Allergy Diagnosis and its impleme...
