Food allergy logogram to facilitate the diagnosis of food allergy in primary care
Conclusion: Based on existing mainly specialist guidelines, we developed a simple and pragmatic food allergy logogram for primary care in order to support GPs in making a (provisional) allergy diagnosis. Further steps are peer validation and computerization of the logograms. Ultimately, a trial should be undertaken to confirm the utility of the logograms in primary care. This may in future facilitate improved integrated care in allergy and improvement of both patient outcomes and experience of services.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria: latest developments in aetiology, diagnosis and therapy
Chronic urticaria is a debilitating disease characterized by itching and hives with or without angioedema lasting for more than 6 weeks. The disease carries a significant emotional and economic burden for the patient and often results in an odyssey between doctors of different specialities. Patients suffering from chronic urticaria are considered more difficult to satisfy, treat and to have a bigger emotional burden than the average patient in dermatology, paediatric and general practice settings. A joint initiative under the Dermatology section of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical immunology (EAACI), the Global...
