A Skin Patch Shows Promise in Treating Kids ’ Peanut Allergies
WASHINGTON — An experimental skin patch is showing promise to treat toddlers who are highly allergic to peanuts—training their bodies to handle an accidental bite.
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and dangerous food allergies. Parents of allergic tots are constantly on guard against exposures that can turn birthday parties and play dates into emergency room visits.
There is no cure. The only treatment is for children 4 and older who can consume a special peanut powder to protect against a severe reaction.
The patch, named Viaskin, aims to deliver that kind of treatment through the skin instead. In a maj...

Alpha-gal syndrome initially misdiagnosed as chronic spontaneous urticaria in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionA detailed clinical history led to the diagnosis of alpha-gal syndrome. Although alpha-gal syndrome is typically seen in adults, our case illustrates that children can also present with this potentially life-threatening allergy. Since alpha-gal syndrome is rare in Europe, the disease is not well known and often overlooked for several years, especially in children.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria, low histamine diet as a treatment
Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is defined as urticaria that persists longer than six weeks. It was previously known as Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. The current mainstay treatments for CSU include antihistamines and immunomodulators. The exact pathogenesis of CSU remains unclear. Here, we discuss two patients treated for CSU who demonstrated persistently elevated histamine levels with normal tryptase suggesting a non-mast-cell-mediated histamine elevation. Both were responsive to low-Histamine diet (LHD) as a primary treatment.

Natural Tolerance Development to Peach in a Child with Lipid Transfer Protein Allergy
Acta Med Port. 2022 Apr 14. doi: 10.20344/amp.16328. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), present in multiple plant foods and pollens, are the predominant allergen in peach allergy in the Mediterranean region and may induce life-threatening allergic reactions. Although reasonably studied in adults, LTP allergy has been rarely described in children, and to the best of the author's knowledge, natural tolerance development during childhood to this allergen has not been reported to date. The authors reported the case of a 21 month-old boy who presented urticaria and facial edema 15 minutes...

Impact of Prior Drug Allergies on the Risk, Clinical Features, and Outcomes of Idiosyncratic Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Adults
ConclusionA prior drug allergy history was not associated with a greater likelihood of developing DILI compared to other causes of acute liver injury. However, the probable DILI patients with a history of prior drug allergy tended to have less severe liver injury and clinical outcomes. The low rate of suspect drug documentation in the “Drug Allergy” section of EMR after a DILI episode is of concern and could lead to avoidable harm from inadvertent suspect drug re-challenge.
