M303 language barriers complicate food allergy testing in cases of severe atopic dermatitis
While food allergy panels are not routine, practice parameters do recommend that they are considered in cases of eczema that do not improve with optimized therapy. Thorough discussion about the meaning of the results of this test is critical to prevent unnecessary avoidance.

Dietary exposures and allergy prevention in high-risk infants
Infants at high risk for developing a food allergy have either an atopic condition (such as eczema) themselves or an immediate family member with such a condition. Breastfeeding should be promoted and supporte...

Diagnostics and Prevention of Occupational Allergy in Hairdressers
This study aims to provide an overview on current knowledge on occupational allergic diseases in hairdressers and up-to-date perspectives of prevention.Recent FindingsHand eczema (dermatitis) is common in hairdressers, often caused by contact allergy to one or multiple small molecules (haptens) used, e.g., for dyeing, bleaching, and waving/relaxing or by ancillary substances such as preservatives. Hairdressers, compared to other patch-tested patients, have an up to fivefold increased risk to be found sensitized, e.g., againstp-phenylenediamine, ammonium persulfate, and glyceryl thioglycolate. Some of these small molecul...

Early exposure to peanuts 'cuts allergy risk in children'
Conclusion
This was a follow-up study of a well-designed randomised controlled trial. The original study found the early introduction of regular small amounts of peanut protein to infants at high risk of having peanut allergy reduced the proportion that developed a peanut allergy by the age of five, compared with avoiding peanuts completely.
The latest study found that even if the children who had been exposed to peanuts then avoided them for 12 months, this did not significantly increase their likelihood of developing a peanut allergy.
Strengths of the study include the use of objective tests to determine how well th...

Infant formulas containing hydrolysed protein for prevention of allergic disease and food allergy.
CONCLUSIONS: We found no evidence to support short-term or prolonged feeding with a hydrolysed formula compared with exclusive breast feeding for prevention of allergy. Very low-quality evidence indicates that short-term use of an EHF compared with a CMF may prevent infant CMA.In infants at high risk of allergy not exclusively breast fed, very low-quality evidence suggests that prolonged hydrolysed formula feeding compared with CMF feeding reduces infant allergy and infant CMA. Studies have found no difference in childhood allergy and no difference in specific allergy, including infant and childhood asthma, eczema and rhin...

Updated recommendations to help thwart the peanut allergy epidemic
From the desk of Shelly Flais, MDTwenty or thirty years ago, it was rare to have a friend or classmate with a peanut allergy. Times have changed. The number of children in the U.S. with a peanut allergy has more than tripled between 1997 and 2008. These days anywhere from 6 to 9% of all kids have a food allergy of some kind, meaning in a typical classroom 2 or 3 kids can be affected. This is an issue near and dear to my heart, as 2 of my 4 kids have peanut allergies.Why has peanut allergy been on the rise? What can we do to prevent allergies? Food allergy research continues and has begun to shed new light on the issue. For...

Parental and child factors associated with inhalant and food allergy in a population-based prospective cohort study: the Generation R Study
Conclusions: We found strong effects of parental history of allergy, eczema or asthma on the presence of physician-diagnosed inhalant allergy in children at age 10 years. Eczema ever at age 10 years was a strong risk factor for the development of physician-diagnosed inhalant and food allergy.What is Known:• The prevalence of allergic diseases in children has markedly increased.• Early-life influences are critically important in the development of allergic diseases.What is New:• Maternal and paternal history of allergy, eczema or asthma is associated with increased risks of physician-diagnosed inhalant allergy but ...

Skin care interventions in infants for preventing eczema and food allergy.
CONCLUSIONS: Skin care interventions such as emollients during the first year of life in healthy infants are probably not effective for preventing eczema, and probably increase risk of skin infection. Effects of skin care interventions on risk of food allergy are uncertain. Further work is needed to understand whether different approaches to infant skin care might promote or prevent eczema and to evaluate effects on food allergy based on robust outcome assessments.

Skin care interventions in infants for preventing eczema and food allergy
CONCLUSIONS: Based on low- to moderate-certainty evidence, skin care interventions such as emollients during the first year of life in healthy infants are probably not effective for preventing eczema; may increase risk of food allergy; and probably increase risk of skin infection. Further study is needed to understand whether different approaches to infant skin care might prevent eczema or food allergy.PMID:36373988 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013534.pub3

Children who eat peanuts at an early age may prevent peanut allergies
The No Nuts Moms Group website lists some of the young people who have died from food allergies — many from peanut allergy — going back to 1986. The lengthy list is a sad reminder that a peanut allergy can cause a severe and sometimes deadly allergic reaction. Parents who have a child who is allergic to peanuts do many things to keep him or her out of harm’s way.
A study published online today in The New England Journal of Medicine offers some hope for parents of infants who may be headed toward a peanut allergy. That hope is peanuts.
For the study, an international team of researchers recruited infants who had a...

Life after milk allergy: Catching up with Brett Nasuti
When Brett Nasuti was an infant, he was constantly breaking out in hives. His arms, legs, and even his face were always covered in small, itchy bumps. In fact, by the time he was a few months old, Brett’s mother Robyn had taken to cutting the ends off socks and sewing them over the arms of his baby clothes, so his budding fingernails didn’t scratch his skin raw. There were doctor visits and quick fix remedies, but nothing seemed to help for very long.
At eight months, Brett was given cow’s milk for the first time—with awful results. “He just started throwing up all over the place,” Robyn remem...
