Camp Leadership Perspectives on Food Allergy–Related Anaphylaxis Events and Training for Camp Staff: A National Survey of Summer Camps
ConclusionsAppropriate policies to manage food anaphylaxis events and anaphylaxis management training were missing in a substantial proportion of camps. Camp-tailored food allergy training is needed given the number of camps reporting food allergy reactions requiring epinephrine.

White paper on peanut allergy  – part 1: Epidemiology, burden of disease, health economic aspects
AbstractPeanuts are Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume or pea family, and peanut allergy is among the most common food allergies and the most common cause of fatal food reactions and anaphylaxis.The prevalence of peanut allergy increased 3.5-fold over the past two decades reaching 1.4 –2% in Europe and the United States. The reasons for this increase in prevalence are likely multifaceted. Sensitization via the skin appears to be associated with the development of peanut allergy and atopic eczema in infancy is associated with a high risk of developing peanut allergy.Until recently, the only possible management str...

Epidemic of Isothiazolinone Allergy in North America: Prevalence Data From the North American Contact Dermatitis Group, 2013-2014.
CONCLUSIONS: The epidemic of isothiazolinone sensitivity documented in Europe is now in North America. Patch testing with only MCI/MI 0.01% aq will miss approximately half of isothiazolinone allergy cases, whereas testing with only MI 0.2% aq will miss approximately 10% of isothiazolinone allergy cases.

Model of Walnut Allergy in CC027/GeniUnc Mice Recapitulates Key Features of Human Disease.
Authors: Smeekens JM, Orgel KA, Kesselring J, Bagley K, Kulis MD Abstract Tree nut allergies affect 1% of the United States population, are often severe in nature and rarely outgrown. Despite the severity and prevalence, there are no FDA-approved treatments for tree nut allergy. Development of a therapeutic would be expedited by having a mouse model that mimics the human disease. We utilized the CC027/GeniUnc mouse strain, which was previously identified as an orally reactive model of peanut allergy, to develop a model of walnut allergy. Mice were sensitized with walnut and cholera toxin for 4 weeks and subsequentl...

This is the second edition of a general allergy textbook, written by an international group of authors from the United States, Singapore, India, and the United Kingdom and sponsored by the International Asthma Services as part of their continued educational outreach. There are 35 chapters that detail a broad allergy and immunology curriculum, including taking the allergy history, rhinolaryngoscopy, multiple areas of integrative medicine, and how these can be incorporated into the practice of allergy and immunology, and a unique chapter highlighting the differences in the practice of allergy between Eastern and Western cultures.

Venom Shortages: What ’s an Allergist to do? Part Two: Potential Solutions
The surprise announcement in March 2018 that ALK was leaving the North American venom market permanently changed the landscape for venom immunotherapy. The American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (College) and the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (Academy) have jointly communicated with Jubilant HollisterStier (JHS) about long-term product and supply issues. Even with reassurances of price and supply stability given to the two national allergy organizations by the remaining venom vendor, the Advocacy Council of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology continued to receive calls and ...

Component testing for food allergies
In this issue of Annals, there are an excellent series of Pro-Con debates surrounding various themes of food allergy. In 1 of these debates, Drs. Anagnostou1 and Greenhawt2 discuss whether component resolved diagnostic testing is better than other modalities for the diagnosis of allergy, concentrating the discussion on food allergy. Component tests are commonly used in Europe and are commercially available in the United States for peanut, tree nuts, egg, and milk. With the increased incidence of food allergy, this debate should be germane to the practicing allergist.

Real world tree nut consumption in peanut-allergic individuals
Peanut allergy affects 1-2% of individuals in the United States, and is increasing in prevalence.1-4 Although there is accumulating data on immunotherapy for peanut allergy,5-8 the cornerstone of management remains strict avoidance of peanut protein, maintenance of an emergency action plan and prompt use of epinephrine to treat systemic reactions in case of an accidental exposure, which occurs in up to 12-15% of peanut-allergic individuals annually.9,10 Peanut allergy significantly impacts quality of life,11 as it is typically lifelong, is the leading cause of food-induced anaphylaxis in children, and the leading cause of ...

Recent Surveys on Food Allergy Prevalence
Substantial numbers of children and adults report having immunoglobulin E–mediated food allergies. However, generating accurate food allergy prevalence data is difficult. Self-reported data can overestimate prevalence when compared with prevalence estimates established by more rigorous methods. As of 2004, in the United States, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act mandated that the label should declare the source of the food if the product contains that food or a protein-containing ingredient from that food (not all proteins in a major food allergen cause allergic reactions) in the manner described by t...
