‘Googling’ anaphylaxis
Purpose of review Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction and without the appropriate treatment can progress fast and may be fatal. Information about allergy and immunology topics including anaphylaxis can be easily found online and are widely searched by patients as well as medical personnel. Social media and search engines not only bring a number of benefits to users but also carry risks for breaches of confidentiality and privacy, unprofessional behaviour, malpractice and litigation. Social media use by medical healthcare workers has liability risks and can result in malpractice. Recent findings We used PubMed ...

Anaphylaxis in adolescents
Purpose of review The frequency of hospitalization for anaphylaxis has increased over the last 20 years across Europe, Australia, and North America, particularly, for food and medication triggers. Adolescents show the highest risk for morbidity and fatality from food-induced anaphylaxis, yet there is little high-quality evidence addressing the reasons for this disproportionate vulnerability. Recent findings Recent data seem to suggest a possible increasing burden of food-induced anaphylaxis among adolescents. Trends in anaphylaxis mortality are stable in North America and the United Kingdom, but not in Australia where...

Gender differences in anaphylaxis
Purpose of review Is sexual dimorphism also true in anaphylaxis as described in other allergic diseases? Possible gender differences in the epidemiology, triggers, severity, outcomes of anaphylaxis as well as in the pathogenesis of the disease are discussed. Recent findings Hormonal status and the X-chromosome-coded factors deeply involved in the regulation of T-cell and B-cell responses may influence the gender difference noticed in allergic diseases, such as asthma and rhinitis. Little is known if sex is also relevant for anaphylaxis, although the description of catamenial anaphylaxis is intriguing. However, epidemi...
