LEAPing into the void
The prevalence of immunoglobulin E –mediated food allergy has reached epidemic levels in much of the world, placing a substantial burden on affected patients, their families, and health systems.1 As of November 2022, there remains only 1 therapeutic option approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of food aller gy in the United States and it is only indicated for the treatment of pediatric peanut allergy. Meanwhile, no food allergy treatments are currently approved by the Therapeutic Goods Association, the governing body in Australia, where the study by Vale et al,2 to which this editorial refers, was carr ied out.

Prepping for a pandemic
We write this while sitting in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic. The ability of a novel virus to markedly remake our world is truly amazing. However, equally amazing is our society ’s ability to confront this viral threat and develop a vaccine in record time. Indeed, the emergence of a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has sparked a new wave of discussion regarding epidemics and pandemics and their pervasive impact on our global interconnected society.

Food allergy 2020: learning from the past, looking to the future
The year 2020 is full of surprises, high hopes, and disappointments. Due to the epidemic of COVID-19, many international and domestic meetings were canceled and travel plans ruined, casting a shadow over the allergy community. Yet, there are exciting developments to celebrate.

Modulating the Microbiome: The Future of Allergy Therapeutics?
The incidence of IgE sensitization and associated diseases has been on the rise since the late 19th century reaching epidemic proportions in the current era.1 This increase has occurred over just four generations, a rate that far exceeds the rate at which genetics alone could account for the change. Explaining the cause for this epidemic has proven to be a challenge for epidemiologists, scientists and clinical researchers alike. In 1980, David Strachan proposed the well-known “hygiene hypothesis” which proposed that the increase in hay fever and eczema was a result of the decrease in “opportunity for cross infection ...

Caregiver quality of life and management self-efficacy in a technology-based asthma medication monitoring clinical trial
Asthma is a problem of epidemic proportions in Chicago with childhood prevalence and mortality rates above the national average. In an effort to improve asthma outcomes, children diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma were recruited from Chicago clinics to participate in a technology-based medication monitoring platform. Caregivers were surveyed to assess asthma-related psychosocial outcomes.

Allergists' use of epinephrine for food-induced anaphylaxis
The current food allergy epidemic and recent focus on early introduction of peanut has led many allergists to perform more oral food challenges (OFCs).1 Foods are the most common trigger of anaphylaxis in children, and as such, we are seeing an increase in severe reactions.2 It is not controversial that epinephrine is the treatment of choice for anaphylaxis.3 Since the term was first used in 1901, the definition of anaphylaxis has been controversial and only more recently well-defined as “a severe, potentially fatal, systemic allergic reaction that occurs suddenly after contact with an allergy-causing substance.”4 This...

The environment and food allergy
Food allergy (FA) is an immune-mediated adverse reaction to food, which has become an important global public health problem affecting up to 8% of the children and up to 5% of the adults in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. 1 Peanut allergy alone affects up to 1.4-4.5% of infants and young children in these countries, reaching epidemic proportions. The prevalence of food-induced anaphylaxis is presumed to have increased significantly.
