Food allergy update: more than a peanut of a problem
Abstract Food allergies have become a significant medical and legal concern for children worldwide, as there is a rising incidence of potentially fatal hypersensitivity reactions. The most common foods implicated include cow milk, wheat, egg, soy, peanut, tree nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, and pistachios, fish and shellfish. The majority of food allergies represent an IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity reaction to specific proteins found in foods. Peanut allergy, in particular, is a significant food allergy responsible for the majority of patients with food‐induced anaphylaxis. Even trace quanti...

Propolis: A Review of Properties, Applications, Chemical Composition, Contact Allergy, and Other Adverse Effects.
Abstract Propolis (bee glue) is the resinous substance that bees collect from living plants for the construction and adaptation of their nests. It has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties and may have a wide range of other beneficial biological activities. Propolis is available as a dietary supplement, in products for the protection of health and prevention of diseases, in biopharmaceuticals, and as a constituent of (bio)cosmetics. In this article, the following aspects of propolis are reviewed: the nature and chemical composition, its biological properties and applications, contact allergy and alle...

Fragrance allergy and quality of life – development and validation of a disease‐specific quality of life instrument
ConclusionThe FQL index is a good instrument with which to investigate QoL in subjects with fragrance allergy. Good correlations with the DLQI and self‐estimated disease severity were seen, and it showed good reliability, reproducibility and ability to distinguish changes in disease severity.

A study of 19 cases of allergy to heparins with positive skin testing.
DISCUSSION: Our results underline the greater frequency of delayed hypersensitivity reactions compared with immediate reactions to heparins. Skin tests can help to identify substitution molecules. Fondaparinux might be an alternative but certain diagnosis relies on rechallenge. PMID: 24461090 [PubMed - in process]

The dramatic increase in the rate of methylisothiazolinone contact allergy in Belgium: a multicentre study
ConclusionA dramatic increase in the rate of contact allergy caused by MI in cosmetics is occurring in Belgium. Notwithstanding the recent recommendation to discontinue the use of MI in leave‐on cosmetics, safer use concentrations should also be determined for rinse‐off products. Close monitoring of MI sensitization in the near future will be necessary, and the highest test concentrations reported for MI and MCI/MI should be included in the baseline series.

Prevalence of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone contact allergy in facial dermatitis: a single centre Irish study
ConclusionsContact allergies to MCI/MI and MI are commoner than what was reported before and is an emerging cause of facial dermatitis. The detection rate of this allergen was increased by 5% in our cohort since the inclusion of MI (0.2%) in the standard series.

Chromium allergy and dermatitis: prevalence and main findings
Summary The history of chromium as an allergen goes back more than a century, and includes an interventional success with national legislation that led to significant changes in the epidemiology of chromium allergy in construction workers. The 2015 EU Leather Regulation once again put a focus on chromium allergy, emphasizing that the investigation of chromium allergy is still far from complete. Our review article on chromium focuses on the allergen's chemical properties, its potential exposure sources, and the allergen's interaction with the skin, and also provides an overview of the regulations, and analyses the epidemiol...

Assessing the efficacy of oral immunotherapy for the desensitisation of peanut allergy in children (STOP II): a phase 2 randomised controlled trial: a critical appraisal
ConclusionsAnagnostou et al. concluded that OIT successfully induced desensitization in challenge‐proven peanut‐allergic children and resulted in a clinically and socially meaningful increase in tolerated peanut protein. Quality of life improved after intervention and there was a good safety profile.

Corticosteroid Hypersensitivity Studies in a Skin Allergy Unit
Conclusions The Spanish standard series only contains group 1 corticosteroids. In the interest of improving allergy management, we recommend testing with a specific corticosteroid series and a patient's own creams whenever patch testing with a standard series reveals a hypersensitivity reaction to corticosteroids.

Adverse events in allergy sufferers wearing contact lenses.
Authors: Urgacz A, Mrukwa E, Gawlik R Abstract Allergy is the fifth leading chronic condition in industrialized countries among all ages, and the third most common chronic disease among children under 18 years old. Many of allergic patients also have problems with vision and want to improve their quality of life by wearing contact lenses. They are most frequently young and active individuals, for whom contact lenses provide greater convenience and more satisfying vision correction than spectacles. However, application of high quality and immunologically neutral products do not protect from allergic side reactions. ...

Development of Parents' of Children with Hymenoptera Venom Allergy Quality of Life Scale (PoCHVAQoLS).
CONCLUSIONS: The presented scale consists of high validity and reliability subscales measuring the quality of life of parents of Hymenoptera venom allergic children. As their quality of life is strongly related to the health of their children, such information may be helpful in everyday clinical practice. PMID: 26161053 [PubMed]

Contact allergic gastritis : Rare manifestation of a metal allergy.
We report a case of probable contact-allergic gastritis in a 46-year-old woman. Clinical examination revealed lichenoid mucosal lesions of the gums adjacent to a bridge and crowns that had been implanted several weeks previously. Since implantation, the patient suffered from gastrointestinal complaints including stomach pain. Gastroscopy and histological investigation of stomach biopsies showed eosinophilic gastritis. Patch testing done under the diagnosis of contact allergic stomatitis showed positive reactions to gold sodium thiosulphate, manganese (II) chloride, nickel (II) sulphate, palladium chloride, vanadium (III...

Occupational contact allergy to components of polyester resin systems
ConclusionsTwo product types are of particular importance in contact allergy to polyester resin: powder paints cured by heat with TGIC as the cross‐linker, and car putties. Car putties are used not only in repair car painting, but also in some industrial trades to smoothen surfaces before painting. As commercial patch test substances of polyester resin putties are lacking, patients' own products need to be tested. Cobalt salts are used in several types of polyester resin product as accelerators, and these must be considered as a possible cause of cobalt sensitization.
