Pediatric Drug Allergies
Adverse drug reactions are frequently reported in pediatric patients. In this review article, the authors discuss pediatric drug allergies with emphasis on the most common culprits, beta-lactam antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The authors also discuss reactions to non-beta-lactam antibiotics and chemotherapeutics. Skin testing has not yet been validated for many drugs, although notable exceptions include penicillin and carboplatin. The gold standard for diagnosis in most cases remains drug challenge, and the need for penicillin skin testing prior to oral provocation challenge has been questioned in re...

Large well-designed trials are essential to confirm these findings.What is Known:•Cow ’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the commonest food allergies in children. CMPA is associated with significant socioeconomic burden.•Elimination diet and extensively hydrolyzed formula is the mainstay of the management of CMPA.What is New:•This first systematic review of randomized controlled trials shows that probiotics as an adjuvant can lead to earlier ac...

Pediatric Anti-Inflammatory Diet.
Abstract The anti-inflammatory diet is based on two diets that have been shown to have many positive health effects-the Mediterranean diet and the Okinawan diet. The anti-inflammatory diet is more than just a prescription for healthy food, but rather a way of life characterized by a plant-based diet and a pattern of living that includes eating a diverse range of locally grown foods eaten in season, conviviality, culinary activities, physical activity, and rest. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the burden and even prevent the development of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, depression, colorecta...

Food immunotherapy for children with food allergies: state of the art and science
Purpose of review This review examines the current literature and provides insight into the role of food immunotherapy in the management of food-allergic children. Key food immunotherapy trials, benefits, and risks of the intervention, as well as areas requiring further study are all discussed. Recent findings Research studies have reported encouraging results regarding the efficacy of food immunotherapy in desensitizing food-allergic patients with an acceptable safety profile and a documented improvement in quality of life.

Anaphylactic shock with methylprednisolone, Kounis syndrome and hypersensitivity to corticosteroids: a clinical paradox
AbstractCorticosteroids are widely used for the treatment of allergic reactions but paradoxically themselves may induce acute, delayed, local or systemic allergic reactions and even anaphylaxis with Kounis syndrome. They can suppress the release of arachidonic acid from mast cell membranes, via phospholipase A2 and eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibition. Corticosteroids can promote cell apoptosis and mediate in annexin or lipocortin synthesis, substances that modulate inflammatory cell activation, adhesion molecule expression, transmigratory and phagocytic functions. Antigen-antibody reaction, hapten formation, and medication ...
