Prevalence of allergies on pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis and eosinophilic esophagitis
One of the most common allergic diseases in the population is atopic dermatitis (AD), which is sometimes associated with cases of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). Both, EoE and AD are often associated with other forms of allergy spectrum diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, sensitization to foods or pollens, and others. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the prevalence of the most common allergies and comorbidities in pediatric patients with AD and EoE in the southern region of Puerto Rico.

Cats, peanuts, bee stings … the irritating truth about allergies
More and more of us suffer from allergies, and medicine is struggling to keep up. Rebecca Seal talks to medical anthropologist Theresa MacPhailWhen Theresa MacPhail was four, her brother was killed in an accident. When she was 14, her mother died in a car crash. And when she was 24, her father died from anaphylactic shock after a bee flew in through the open window of his truck and stung him in the neck. For anyone else, these devastating experiences would almost certainly have been psychologically catastrophic. “I have several friends who are psychology professors, and they’re always saying, ‘No offence but, by righ...

Many Parents Who Think They Have Food Allergies Actually Don't
When kids have food allergies, the children’s parents may think they have food allergies too, but this is often not the case, a new study found.
The study, which involved only parents of kids with food allergies, showed that many parents who reported also having food allergies didn’t actually have any. In fact, when the researchers conducted allergy tests on parents who thought they had these allergies, more than 70 percent of these parents tested negative.
The study calls into question the reliability of people’s self-reports of allergies, the researchers said. The findings are also surprising, given tha...

Sad In The Spring? Allergy-Mood Link Is Real
(CNN) — You know spring has sprung when hundreds of people daily turn to Twitter to vent about their itchy eyes, dripping nose and uncontrollable sneezing and coughing.
Seasonal allergies, which affect about 36 million Americans, aren’t just an annoyance; many doctors agree that there is a real connection between allergies and mood.
“‘Cranky’ is really the best word for it,” said Katie Ingram, 30, of Alexandria, Virginia, a triathlete who has seasonal allergies. “I take a lot of medication for it, and that makes me sleepy. And I can’t do a lot of the things that I like to do ...

Ask the expert: Is it possible to prevent peanut allergy?
I have seen so many of my friends’ children diagnosed with severe food allergies. Is there anything I can do to stop my baby from having a peanut allergy?
Panicked about peanuts
John Lee, MD, clinical director, Boston Children’s Hospital Food Allergy Program
Food allergies are on the rise. They are more prevalent than ever before. It is estimated that one in 13 school kids have a life-threatening food allergy. Although some food allergies can be outgrown, peanut allergies tend to be lifelong.
In the hope of preventing allergies, doctors used to recommend avoiding foods that are more commonly allergenic—like peanut...

Pollen Overload: Seasonal Allergies in a Changing Climate
Several intertwined factors influence how a plant grows and how much pollen it produces. Projected rises in two of these—regional temperatures and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels—could mean an increase in the number of people affected by seasonal allergies.© Joe Petersburger/Getty
Pollen (gold spheres) is produced by the stamens (gray), which are the male reproductive organ of flowering plants. Pollen grains are covered in proteins that assist in reproduction but also trigger allergic reactions in sensitized people.© Martin Oeggerli/Science Source

Experts Now Recommend Introducing Peanuts To Babies At High Risk Of Allergies
For millions of children who have peanut allergies, mealtimes can be deadly. And for years, doctors have advised parents to keep peanut products away from children thought to be at high risk.
But new guidelines issued Thursday state that infants should be introduced to peanut products as early as 4 months old if they appear to be at high risk of developing food allergies.
A panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases says that introducing peanuts early in life can actually help prevent the development of peanut allergies.
The new recommendations encourage...

Scientists unlock cause of cat allergies
ConclusionThis research identified the series of events that must occur at a molecular level for cat dander to activate the immune system. The researchers suggest that the two animal proteins they studied are responsible for 80% of cat allergies and 35% of dog allergies.They propose that drugs that could bind to TLR4, blocking the ability of cat dander and LPS to bind, may prevent an immune response from occurring in the first place. A drug that blocks certain biological processes from taking place is known as an antagonist. This potential for drugs to prevent a reaction from occurring could offer an alternative to curren...

School Board Member Resigns After Saying 'Just Shoot' Kids With Food Allergies
A school board official in Michigan made a public remark about shooting kids with food allergies -- and it caused her to leave her job. Advocates say it also demonstrates there's still a lack of knowledge and tolerance of the serious medical condition, even among those who work with children.
On Tuesday, suburban Detroit's Clawson Public Schools announced that Board of Education Trustee Linda Grossmann had resigned after making the comment at a school board meeting during a discussion about how children with food allergies have changed what food can be distributed at schools.
"Well, you should just shoot them," Grossman...

A potential breakthrough for peanut allergy treatment
Peanut allergies are among the most rapidly growing food allergies in the United States. Millions of children are currently living with the condition, with new cases being diagnosed daily. (A recent study shows the number of reported peanut allergies tripled in just over a decade.) And because allergic reactions to peanuts tend to be the most severe—80 to 95 percent of all food allergy deaths are peanut or tree nut related—the trend is a serious cause for concern.
But a small pilot study published by the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, may offer hope for the hundred of thousands of families living with the ...

Allergies Are Becoming More Frequent. Why?
By Adam Collison, Elizabeth Percival, Joerg Mattes, and Rani Bhatia of the University of Newcastle. This story was originally published by The Conversation. Allergies are reactions caused by the immune system as it responds to environmental substances that are usually harmless to most people. They may occur in response to a range of different material (called allergens), such as food, pollen, dust mites, animals, insect stings, or medicines. An allergy can affect different parts of the body. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, for instance, affects the nose and eyes, while eczema affects the skin. Food allergies aff...

Drink Green Tea
Green tea is loaded with a ton of good-for-you antioxidants that can help prevent allergies. But namely, one sticks out here: an antioxidant phytonutrient called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). It helps to block the body's release of histamine and immunoglobulin E (IgE); both key culprits in allergic reactions...

Allergy alerts - the incidence of parentally reported allergies in children presenting for general anaesthesia.
CONCLUSION: Only the minority of parent-reported allergies in paediatric surgical patients were specialist confirmed and likely to be clinically relevant. Self-reported food allergy is commonly specialist verified, reactions to medications were generally not. Over-reporting of allergies is increasingly common and limits clinician choice of medications. Better education of patients and their families and more timely verification or dismissal of parent-reported reactions is urgently needed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
