Food Allergy: International and Developing World Perspectives
Abstract Purpose of Review Epidemiological data on food allergy worldwide suffer from the challenges of variability in methods of diagnosis, sampling, and response rates. There are little data on food allergy in the developing world and populations with food allergy in such settings may suffer from challenges that are different from those experienced by subjects with food allergy in the developed world. Recent Findings Data based on IgE-mediated food allergy established by food challenge in unselected childhood populations exist only from the USA, Europe...

New patient-reported experience measure for children with allergic disease: development, validation and results from integrated care
Conclusions These new PREMs will allow allergy-specific patient experience reporting for children and parents and help identification of priority areas for improvement and commissioning of care. Efforts towards better allergy care provision must be targeted at primary and emergency care settings and underpinned by improving communication between healthcare providers and the community.

P30 Pharmacist led allergy clinic: Improving paediatric patient care
Conclusions The introduction of a paediatric pharmacist clinic was received positively by the paediatric allergy MDT and the paediatric allergy patients seen (excellent results from patient satisfaction survey). It has contributed to improving patient care, by improving patient safety and reducing waiting times. The outpatient clinic waiting time was reduced by 64% for eczema review after the initiation of topical immunomodulatory therapy for those patients that were referred to the pharmacist clinic and 100% of medication reviews were carried out within 4 weeks of referral. The clinics had significant cost saving implicat...

First day of school—with food allergies
The first day of school isn’t just nerve-racking for kids—it can be tough on moms and dads too. After spending so many years looking after a child, packing their lunch and sending them off to be taught and supervised by adults you’ve never met before can be a lot to deal with. That first day of school anxiety is often even stronger for the parents of children with food allergies, who worry if their children will be protected from reactions in the classroom. “The idea of classrooms filled with children, foods and other potential allergy triggers can be scary for children with food allergies, and their pa...

Management of food allergy: A survey of Australian paediatricians
ConclusionsGeneral paediatricians would benefit from further training if they are to practice allergy care as their diagnosis and management is often inconsistent with international guidelines. Training could be delivered online to maximise reach and uptake. If effective, such a model could relieve some of the burden experienced by Australian tertiary allergy services.

Screening for the risk of allergy and prevention in French maternity units: A survey.
Abstract Allergy has been on the rise for half a century and concerns nearly 30% of children; it has now become a real public health problem. The guidelines on prevention of allergy set up by the French Society of Paediatrics (SFP) and the European Society of Paediatric Allergology and Clinical Immunology (ESPACI) are based on screening children at risk through a systematic search of the family history and recommend, for children at risk, exclusive breastfeeding whenever possible or otherwise utilization of hypoallergenic infant formula, which has demonstrated efficacy. The AllerNaiss practice survey assessed the ...

Food allergy among children with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease
ConclusionCow's milk allergy was observed frequently in children with resistant to pharmacologic treatment of GERD. Combined skin prick and specific IgE tests, atopy patch test and oral food challenge is essential for avoidance of unnecessary elimination diet. This article is protected by copyright.

Taking the leap earlier: the timing of tolerance
Purpose of review: The paradigm for the primary prevention of peanut allergy was, until recently, strict avoidance of peanut during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. However, in countries that had these dietary guidelines, the prevalence of peanut allergy greatly increased in contrast to low prevalence rates of peanut allergy in countries where infant diets included peanut at an early age, suggesting the hypothesis that early introduction of peanut is superior to delayed introduction of peanut as a strategy for the primary prevention of food allergy. This review examines recent high-quality studies that support this...

Managing simple food allergy in community settings: A pilot study investigating a new model of care

Formula and breast feeding in infant food allergy: A population‐based study
ConclusionDuration of exclusive breastfeeding and use of partially hydrolysed formula were not associated with food allergy at 1 year of age in this large population‐based study. These findings have implications for population‐based infant‐feeding guidelines and do not support the use of partially hydrolysed formula for food allergy prevention.

What is new in managing patients with food allergy? Almost everything
Purpose of review: This review aims to describe current concepts in managing patients with food allergy. There have been many recent advances in the management of patients with IgE-mediated reactions to food, including diagnosis, prevention, management, and ongoing research in the field. Food allergy is increasing in prevalence and may be life threatening. This review aims to highlight changes in recommended practice when diagnosing and managing patients with food allergy. Recent findings: Early introduction of highly allergenic foods, particularly peanut, has been shown to decrease the risk for development of food allerg...

Severe forms of food allergy.
CONCLUSION: Severe food allergy may occur in the form of anaphylaxis and food-protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, which are increasingly observed in the pediatric emergency room; hence, pediatricians must be alert so they can provide the immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Parental Anxiety and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Pediatric Food Allergy
Conclusions  This study highlights the need for greater awareness of mental health in parents of children with food allergy. The study also indicates that factors impacting on parents ’ perception of threat may be most strongly predictive of psychological outcomes, warranting further research. Finally, the study indicates that intolerance of uncertainty may be a promising target for psychological interventions within this population.
