Guidelines for the prevention of peanut allergy in the United States
Allergists-immunologists are frequently consulted for specific recommendations regarding when to introduce solid foods to infants at risks for food allergy. While they had been given evidence from the literature for the lack of benefit from a delay in the introduction of allergenic foods, there was no evidence for lack of harm, let alone a benefit, for their early introduction. Results from the prospective randomized clinical trial that evaluated the preventive role of early introduction of peanut in the diet of infants at risk for peanut allergy (known as the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy [LEAP] study)1 have recently been published.

Dose of allergens in a peanut snack (Bamba) associated with prevention of peanut allergy
A randomized trial of peanut consumption in infants at risk of food allergy, the Learning Early About Peanut Study (LEAP), recently showed that peanut consumption in early life reduced the prevalence of peanut allergy among high-risk children by 81%.1 A follow-up study (LEAP-On) showed that the reduction in peanut allergy in the consumption group was maintained after 12 months of allergen avoidance.2 The preferred peanut snack used for the LEAP study was a corn puff/stick containing approximately 50% peanut protein (Bamba; Osem Food Industries, Shohan, Israel).

Enhancing antibiotic stewardship by tackling “spurious” penicillin allergy
We describe lessons learnt from recent studies regarding possible reasons contributing to an inaccurate label of PenA as well as propose a concerted multidisciplinary approach to address this important public health problem. Given the unmet need for allergy services in the UK and several other countries and knowledge gaps regarding PenA amongst healthcare professionals, we describe the potential role for a computerized clinical decision support system to enable non‐specialists rapidly identify and de‐label “low‐risk” hospitalized patients with a label of PenA thereby obviating the need for allergy tests. This app...

Food Allergy Prevention: More Than Peanut
Publication date: January 2020Source: The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1Author(s): Michael R. Perkin, Alkis Togias, Jennifer Koplin, Scott SichererGiven an apparent increase in food allergies worldwide, the focus on prevention strategies has intensified. Following the Learning Early About Peanut study, there is now a widespread acceptance that peanut should be introduced promptly into the diet of high-risk infants. However, most food allergies are caused by triggers other than peanut and additional prevention strategies are being evaluated. The appreciation of the role of an impa...

COST Action ‘ImpARAS’: what have we learnt to improve food allergy risk assessment. A summary of a 4 year networking consortium
AbstractThe growing world population and increased pressure on agricultural resources are driving a shortage of dietary protein sources. As a result, industry is developing more sustainable novel food protein sources such as insects, algae and duckweed and using new processing techniques. Consumer exposure to these novel or processed proteins, could cause new food allergies, exacerbating a public health issue which is already directly affecting an estimated 20 million Europeans. Introduction of novel foods should not add to the burden of food allergy and this calls for a reliable, harmonised, evidence-based and validated a...

Primary care doctors' attitude towards drug allergy in Portugal. A questionnaire
Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol. 2021 May 13. doi: 10.23822/EurAnnACI.1764-1489.216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA questionnaire was addressed to general practitioners (GP) from continental Portugal aiming to learn about their perception of drug allergy and identify their difficulties and educational needs for its management and 372 answers were obtained. As main culprit drugs antibiotics were identified by 65.3% and skin is the most involved organ for 65.8% of GP. Drug allergy was considered as very important in clinical practice by 73.7%, but difficulties in recognizing it were stated by 70.2%. Further education in this f...
