Seafood-Induced Anaphylaxis in Children Presenting to Canadian Emergency Departments: Rates, Clinical Presentation and Management
CONCLUSION: Pre-hospital epinephrine is underused in the management of seafood-induced anaphylaxis. Among children with known seafood allergy, pre-hospital epinephrine is more likely if there is a known asthma comorbidity.PMID:35172181 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.02.003

Patterns of allergic sensitization and atopic dermatitis from 1 to 3 years: effects on allergic diseases
Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceThere is substantial heterogeneity among allergen‐sensitized children. Researchers and clinicians need to be aware of the non‐specificity associated with labelling children simply as “atopic” and “non‐atopic” without considering the timing of their atopic history, type of sensitization, and AD status. Children with AD who were poly‐sensitized to foods at an early age appear to be at greatest risk of developing other allergic diseases.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

First Real-World Safety Analysis of Preschool Peanut Oral Immunotherapy
ConclusionsWe are the first group to describe preschool P-OIT in a real-world multicenter setting. The treatment appears to be safe for the vast majority of patients because symptoms were generally mild and very few reactions received epinephrine; however, life-threatening reactions in a minority of patients (0.4%) can still occur.

A Promising Peanut Allergy Treatment May Not Work So Well After All, Research Review Says
In a new review published in the Lancet, researchers came to a disappointing conclusion about recent studies on treating peanut allergies. They found that treating children by exposing them to small amounts of peanuts, which has shown success in several studies, is actually associated with an increased risk of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
This approach, called oral Immunotherapy, involves repeated controlled exposure to whatever is causing an allergic reaction — in this case peanut allergens — to retrain the immune system. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system treats benign substances, l...

Oral food challenge implementation: the first mixed-methods study exploring barriers and solutions
ConclusionMultiple barriers prevent widespread use of OFCs. Efforts targeting OFC training for allergists, education for pediatricians, and standardized guidelines created with clinician and parent input (including consistent OFC information for families and guidance on which OFCs should be performed in-hospital) are likely to increase OFC acceptance.

Characterization of Self-Reported Pollen Food Syndrome (PFS) in Birch Allergic Subjects Exposed to Birch Pollen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC) in Canada
PFS is associated with birch allergy due to food and pollen allergen protein homology. There is little data on PFS comorbidity with birch allergy in Canada. These meta-analyses examined the frequency of self-reported PFS, PFS phenotypes and Total Symptom Scores (TSS) reported by birch allergic patients exposed to birch pollen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC).

“I want to really crack this nut”: an analysis of parent-perceived policy needs surrounding food allergy

Vaccine allergy? Experts say most past reactions not valid reason for exemptions
