Impact of a Penicillin Allergy Educational Session on Clinical Practice
Documented penicillin allergy results in altered antibiotic regimens for patients, leading to increased side effects, antibiotic resistance, and increased healthcare costs. Penicillin allergy is commonly listed in the medical record, but the likelihood of IgE-mediated allergic reactions is low. We hypothesized that an educational session on penicillin allergy for Internal Medicine residents would improve knowledge and likelihood of recommending penicillin allergy evaluation.

Penicillin Allergy Testing by Allergy Trained Pharmacists in Hospitalized Patients
Penicillin is the most common reported drug allergy, although greater than 90% of patients labeled allergic can tolerate it. Hospitalized patients with reported penicillin allergy have been found to have longer hospital stays and increased rates of Clostridium difficile, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. Our goal of this program is to reduce inaccurate penicillin labels, increase patient education of drug allergy, and reduction of beta-lactam alternatives.

Hymenoptera venom allergy among children in Italy: time for pediatricians to take action.
Abstract
Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) is one of the most frequent causes of anaphylaxis following a bee, vespid or ant sting. Real-life data regarding the management of HVA in children are lacking. To address this unmet need, we carried out a survey defining the current management of HVA in children among pediatric allergists in Italy. Educational investments on the improvement of the management of pediatric patients with HVA are urgently needed, and our analysis represents a relevant instrument in targeting a roadmap with this aim. The time for pediatric allergists to take action has come, and a task force fro...

A065 long-term efficacy of a video module on resident and medical student understanding of penicillin allergy
Individuals with a reported penicillin allergy experience longer hospital stays and more adverse health outcomes. One significant barrier to “de-labeling” individuals of their reported allergy is lack of physician understanding of penicillin allergy. The goal of this study was to assess long-term efficacy of a brief educational video module on resident and medical student knowledge of penicillin allergy.

Comparison of Food Allergy in Participants with and without Comorbid Eosinophilic Esophagitis from the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) Patient Registry
Food allergy and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are important comorbidities. While studies have examined the role of food allergy in EoE, comparison of food allergy characteristics in those with and without EoE has not been investigated.

Impact of Project ECHO on Community Pediatricians' Food Allergy Knowledge
Food allergy is increasingly prevalent, and the paradigm around food allergy prevention has recently changed. General pediatricians are often the first providers to educate families about food allergy, and innovative methods of food allergy education for general pediatricians are needed.

Needs Assessment for Interactive Curriculum on Peanut Allergy Prevention Guidelines
The increasing impact of food allergy has produced corresponding interest in food allergy prevention and education. In 2017, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) published the Prevention of Peanut Allergy (PPA) Guidelines. Supporting clinicians to apply these guidelines through innovative methods of education is needed.

Online Education in Allergy and Immunology: An Update to Conferences Online in Allergy (COLA)
We describe here our long standing but unique approach to providing online
education in the specialty of allergy and immunology and its impact. Recent FindingsIn this article, we report the process and updates to our online
conferencing curriculum known as Conferences Online in Allergy (COLA). The
program was developed at Children ’s Mercy Kansas City almost two decades ago for
the utilization of fellows in training, as well as practicing allergists. Since its inception
viewership has continued to grow.SummaryCOLA has served as a significant resource for both the new and practicing
allergists. With rapidly ...

A majority of parents of children with peanut allergy fear using the epinephrine auto‐injector
Abstract
Prompt epinephrine administration is crucial in managing anaphylaxis, but epinephrine auto‐injectors (EAIs) are underutilized by patients and their families. Children with peanut allergy were recruited from the Allergy Clinics at the Montreal Children's Hospital, food allergy advocacy organizations and organizations providing products to allergic individuals. Parents of children who had been prescribed an EAI were queried on whether they were fearful of using it and on factors that may contribute to fear. A majority of parents (672/1209 = 56%) expressed fear regarding the use of the EAI. Parents attributed the...

The management of peanut allergy
Peanut allergy is common and can be a cause of severe, life-threatening reactions. It is rarely outgrown like other food allergies such as egg and milk. Measures aiming to reduce its prevalence via maternal avoidance during pregnancy and lactation, or delayed introduction into the diet, have failed to show any benefit. Peanut allergy has a significant effect on the quality of life of sufferers and their families due to dietary and social restrictions, but mainly stemming from fear of accidental peanut ingestion. The current management consists of strict avoidance, education and provision of emergency medication. Families f...

Clinical Management of Food Allergy
Publication date: January–February 2015 Source:The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): J. Andrew Bird , Gideon Lack , Tamara T. Perry Food allergies are commonly seen by the practitioner, and managing these patients is often challenging. Recent epidemiologic studies report that as many as 1 in 13 children in the United States may have a food allergy, which makes this an important disease process to appropriately diagnose and manage for primary care physicians and specialists alike. Having a understanding of the basic immunologic processes that underlie varying presentat...

Managing nut-induced anaphylaxis: challenges and solutions
Jeanne M Lomas, Kirsi M Järvinen Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, NY, USA Abstract: The prevalence of peanut and tree nut allergy in the USA has increased, especially in the pediatric population. Nut allergy remains the leading cause of fatal anaphylactic reactions. Management of anaphylaxis includes not only treatment of symptoms during a reaction, but strict dietary avoidance and education on potential situations, which may place the patient at high risk for accidental exposure. Cross-reactivity between various nuts along with various ...

Anaphylaxis avoidance and management: educating patients and their caregivers
Kirsi M Järvinen, Jocelyn CelestinDivision of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, Albany Medical College, Albany, NY, USAAbstract: Anaphylaxis is an increasingly prevalent problem in westernized countries. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the increasing numbers of patients at risk for anaphylaxis receive proper education on the etiology and risk factors as well as appropriate treatment of anaphylaxis with epinephrine. The physician's role is crucial in order to educate the patients and care takers on effective measures to prevent anaphylaxis and empower them to take charge of early recognitio...

Approach to food allergy diagnosis and management by nonspecialty practitioners
In the United States, food allergy affects as many as 8% of children.1 Pediatricians are often the first health care professionals to encounter these patients. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease–sponsored guidelines for the management of food allergy advise the appropriate use of diagnostic tests, allergen avoidance education, epinephrine autoinjector (EAI) prescription and training, and provision of anaphylaxis emergency action plans (EAPs).2 Previous studies3,4 have found a lack of adherence with these guidelines.

Current Management of Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis: A Survey of Allergists, Pediatric Allergists and Dermatologists in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest there are distinct differences in moderate-to-severe AD treatment according to physicians' specialties. Medical policy changes along with governmental supports are required in order to implement the ideal approach in real practice. For moderate-to-severe AD, a consensus on the approach to optimal management should be reached for the best outcomes, based on further randomized controlled trials.
