Trends in the Proportion of Women Speakers at North American Allergy & Immunology Conferences, 2008-2020
: Women in medicine continue to be underrepresented at medical conferences. Previous studies have examined the proportion of invited female speakers across multiple specialties and evaluated factors that may have led to this disparity. The field of allergy and immunology has often been excluded and analyses have not demonstrated how the trends have changed over the last decade.

The Shifting Prevalence of Asthma and Allergic Disease in United States Children
CONCLUSION: Trends in allergies across years differed by race and ethnicity. Strength of association between asthma and allergy differed by type and number of allergies, being highest among children having all three types of allergies. Having both asthma and allergy was associated with unfavorable asthma outcomes.PMID:35842086 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.06.030

Survey of Obstetric Providers to Assess the Knowledge and Management of a Reported Penicillin Allergy in Pregnant Women
Conclusions Knowledge gaps related to penicillin allergy exist among obstetric providers. Educational initiatives may improve provider knowledge, help in the identification of patients requiring penicillin allergy evaluation, and reduce referral barriers.

Why Allergy Seasons Are Getting Worse
If you’ve been itchy, congested, and sneezy for months, you’re not alone. This year’s spring allergy season started early, broke pollen-count records in some parts of the country, and is still going strong in many areas. Unfortunately, this year is unlikely to be a fluke. While pollen counts vary from year to year, recent trends suggest allergy seasons are, in general, getting longer and worse, says Dr. Kristine Vanijcharoenkarn, an assistant professor at Emory University School of Medicine who specializes in allergies and immunology. Patients started filling her office early this year, around the beginni...

Prevalence and characteristics of hospital inpatients with reported fluoroquinolone allergy
Conclusion The prevalence of patients claiming a quinolone allergy in the study hospital was 2%. Common hypersensitivity reactions were reported. Data tended to support a possible association between intravenous contrast allergy and quinolone allergy.

Current Trend in Immunotherapy for Peanut Allergy.
Authors: Joo Chan C, Richardo T, Lim RLH Abstract Peanut allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction with symptoms varying from mild to severe anaphylaxis, tends to be lifelong and very few are able to outgrow this allergy. The prevalence of peanut allergy is highest among the Western countries and over the past decade, a 3.5 fold increase in prevalence of peanut allergy was reported among children in the United States. Increasing prevalence has also been observed among the Asian countries. As with other food allergies, peanut allergy reduces quality of life for the affected individuals and the social and economy burden...

Impact of Beta-Lactam Allergy on Treatment of Outpatient Infections.
This study sought to evaluate the appropriateness of outpatient antibiotic therapy in patients with documented beta-lactam allergies within a Veterans Affairs health care system to evaluate areas of improvement in prescribing practices. METHODS: Patients receiving outpatient oral antibiotics were prospectively identified through real-time electronic alerts from June 2017 through February 2018. Prescriptions were then reviewed retrospectively to identify appropriateness of antibiotic, drug choice, dose, and duration based on current guideline recommendations. Data were compared between patients with a listed beta-lacta...

Open Sesame: shedding light on an emerging global allergen
CONCLUSION: In recent decades significant gains have been made in determining prevalence and natural history of sesame allergy. With increased recognition and prevalence come the need for reliable methods of identification of sesame allergy as well as approaches to management.PMID:35973653 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.08.002

Self-reported beta-lactam intolerance: not a class effect, dangerous to patients, and rarely allergy.
Authors: Vyles D, Macy E Abstract INTRODUCTION: About 8% of the United States population carries an unconfirmed penicillin "allergy" in their medical record. Many physicians needlessly avoid other beta-lactam use in individuals with unconfirmed penicillin allergies. There is a significantly increased risk of developing serious antibiotic-resistant infections, and increased morbidity and mortality in those who report penicillin allergy. Areas covered: Within this study we reviewed the relevant literature on self-reported beta-lactam allergy. We discuss how the myth of serious allergy to penicillin developed and then...

Evaluation and Management of Penicillin Allergy
Penicillin allergy is the most commonly reported drug allergy in the United States. Although penicillin allergy is widely reported, 80% to 90% of individuals with self-reported penicillin allergy are actually able to tolerate penicillins after undergoing evaluation for penicillin allergy. Because most patients with self-reported penicillin allergy will have subsequent negative allergy testing results and tolerate penicillins, they may be unnecessarily exposed to broader-spectrum antibiotics. Use of such antibiotics leads to increased risks of developing antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and incur higher health care utilization costs.

Positivity rates of in vitro inhalant/respiratory and food allergy tests in the northern midwestern United States.
Abstract Rates of allergy-test positivity vary by country and by regions within countries. Several studies have looked at allergy test results to determine the most common allergens. Many of these studies have been based on surveys or on studies of small numbers of tests. Positivity rates for allergy tests are poorly defined in the northern midwestern region of the United States. We conducted a study to identify the rates of positive allergy tests for both inhalant/respiratory allergens and food allergens in the upper Midwest. We extracted from our laboratory database the results of all test samples sent for one o...

Partnering with General Pediatricians to De-label Penicillin Allergies in Children
Penicillin allergy is the most common antibiotic allergy, with nearly 10% of the United States population reporting an allergy.1 Penicillin allergy is frequently suspected due to a reported rash, family history of penicillin allergy, or non-IgE mediated symptoms such as headache.1,2 However, when tested, less than 5% of patients actually have a clinically significant allergic reaction.1,2 Very few individuals undergo penicillin allergy testing, and thus maintain the mislabeled penicillin allergy.

Infant feeding patterns and eczema in children in the first 6 years of life
Conclusions & Clinical RelevanceMixed infant feeding may carry a higher risk of eczema/skin allergy compared to direct feeding at the breast. The recent epidemic of pumping and feeding in the United States and the use of mixed infant feeding modes requires additional studies to provide appropriate and renewed assessments of the risks of feeding modes for the future development of allergies.This article is protected by copyright.
