Better recognition, diagnosis and management of non-IgE-mediated cow ’s milk allergy in infancy: iMAP—an international interpretation of the MAP (Milk Allergy in Primary Care) guideline
Abstract Cow ’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common presentations of food allergy seen in early childhood. It is also one of the most complex food allergies, being implicated in IgE-mediated food allergy as well as diverse manifestations of non-IgE-mediated food allergy. For example, gastrointestinal CMA may present as food protein induced enteropathy, enterocolitis or proctocolitis. Concerns regarding the early and timely diagnosis of CMA have been highlighted over the years. In response to these, guideline papers from the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Europe, the Americas and the World Aller gy Organisation ...

Lip dose challenges in food allergy: Current practice and diagnostic utility in the United Kingdom
ConclusionsThe majority of UK Allergy clinics included LDC as an initial step during OFC, despite a wide variation in how LDC are performed and interpreted, which raises major concerns about the reproducibility and the validity of the test. We found that LDC had poor sensitivity as an alternative or initial step to formal OFC.

Global perspectives on food allergy
The prevalence of childhood food allergy has increassed sharply during the past 2 decades. Up to 8% of children in the United States and 11% of Australian infants are food allergic, and the prevalence of peanut allergy is between 1% and 3% in these countries.1 Allergy research has shifted its focus in recent years toward measures aimed at the primary prevention of food allergy in children, such as through dietary interventions in early life. The Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) randomized clinical trial enrolled 640 high-risk infants between the ages of 4 and 11 months in the United Kingdom who had severe atopic ...

Textbook of Allergy for the Clinician, Second Edition
This is the second edition of a general allergy textbook, written by an international group of authors from the United States, Singapore, India, and the United Kingdom and sponsored by the International Asthma Services as part of their continued educational outreach. There are 35 chapters that detail a broad allergy and immunology curriculum, including taking the allergy history, rhinolaryngoscopy, multiple areas of integrative medicine, and how these can be incorporated into the practice of allergy and immunology, and a unique chapter highlighting the differences in the practice of allergy between Eastern and Western cultures.

A Patch Testing Initiative for the Investigation of Allergic Contact Dermatitis in a UK Allergy Practice: A Retrospective Study
ConclusionACD was detected in almost 50% of assessed patients and we highlight the importance of assessing relevance. Hydroperoxides of limonene and linalool are notable additions to the prevalence data. Patch testing should be incorporated into more allergy practices, although availability of training is a limiting factor.

Clinical presentation and referral characteristics of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in the United Kingdom.
CONCLUSION: In the United Kingdom, FPIES typically has its onset at 8 months. Patients experience a delay of 12 months in the diagnosis of FPIES and frequently have multiple episodes and interim diagnoses. A great need remains for enhanced education of medical practitioners dealing with children about the varied presentations of FPIES.

The role of environmental exposure to peanut and the development of peanut allergy
Peanut affects around 2% of children in developed countries and is the leading cause of food-related anaphylactic deaths in the United States and United Kingdom. Peanut allergy is rarely outgrown and, although peanut desensitization has been shown to increase the threshold of reactivity to peanut, the evidence for oral tolerance induction remains elusive. The Learning Early About Peanut (LEAP) study showed that high-dose regular peanut consumption from 4 to 11 months of age up until 5 years of age was highly effective in preventing peanut allergy in high-risk children.
