COVID-19 Vaccine-associated Anaphylaxis and Allergic Reactions: Consensus Statements of the KAAACI Urticaria/Angioedema/Anaphylaxis Working Group
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res. 2021 Jul;13(4):526-544. doi: 10.4168/aair.2021.13.4.526.ABSTRACTIn the era of novel coronavirus epidemics, vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been recognized as the most effective public health interventions to control the pandemic. An adverse event following immunization (AEFI) is defined as any untoward occurrence following immunization, and the majority of AEFIs are caused by protective immune responses stimulated by vaccines. Most of the reported AEFIs are not serious, and many are not immunologically mediated or even reproducible on re-exposure. However, uncommon seve...

Intestinal mucus barrier: a missing piece of the puzzle in food allergy
Trends Mol Med. 2021 Nov 19:S1471-4914(21)00276-8. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2021.10.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of food allergies has reached epidemic levels but the cause remains largely unknown. We discuss the clinical relevance of the gut mucosal barrier as a site for allergic sensitization to food. In this context, we focus on an important but overlooked part of the mucosal barrier in pathogenesis, the glycoprotein-rich mucus layer, and call attention to both beneficial and detrimental aspects of mucus-gut microbiome interactions. Studying the intricate links between the mucus barrier, the associated...

Epidemic thunderstorm asthma (TA) can have catastrophic effects. While reported world-wide, the most severe event ever recorded was in Melbourne, Australia, in 2016, resulting in over 3400 excess emergency asthma presentations and 10 deaths. Established risk factors for thunderstorm asthma are seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) with specific allergy to ryegrass pollen. However, seasonal allergic rhinitis affects over 20% of people in Melbourne, so this information does not enable targeting of preventive strategies.

Analysis of the Association Among Air Pollutants, Allergenic Pollen, and Respiratory Virus Infection of Children in Guri, Korea During Recent 5 Years
CONCLUSIONS: Seasonal co-exposure to air pollutants and allergenic pollens may enhance respiratory viral infection susceptibility in children. Therefore, reducing the concentrations of air pollutants and pollens may help prevent future epidemics.PMID:35557494 | DOI:10.4168/aair.2022.14.3.289
