School nurse perspectives on school policies for food allergy and anaphylaxis.
CONCLUSION: With one-third of school nurses reporting an allergic reaction in the past year, schools use many strategies to minimize allergen exposures and increase anaphylaxis preparedness. Most school nurses favor these policies and acknowledge barriers to implementation. PMID: 29508717 [PubMed - in process]

Leaving the nest: improving food allergy management on college campuses.
CONCLUSION: The use of qualitative research methods, patient-centered design processes, and collaborations with diverse stakeholders-including pediatricians that care for adolescents-can provide a framework for designing coordinated systems and policies to provide comprehensive support to college students with food allergy. Next steps include rigorously testing implementation of the Spotlight intervention prototypes. PMID: 29679763 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cross-elicitation responses to 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine in p-phenylenediamine highly allergic volunteers using allergy alert test: the Italian experience.
Conclusions. Me-PPD may offer a safer alternative for PPD-allergic patients with an absent or reduced elicitation response in the allergy alert test simulating hair dye use conditions. Even patients with strong patch test reactions, with appropriate selection by allergy alert test and counselling, may be able to tolerate hair dyeing with Me-PPD containing products.

Current trends in food allergy-induced anaphylaxis management at school.
CONCLUSIONS: Additional data are needed to demonstrate successful implementations of stock epinephrine programs and their outcomes. Such programs should include support for school nursing, and clearer delineation of authority for medication administration as well as standards for where and how devices are stored.

Doctor, my child is bullied: food allergy management in schools
Purpose of review: Studies suggest that food allergies have increased in prevalence, resulting in most school classrooms having more than one child affected. Children with food allergies are vulnerable for experiencing potentially life-threatening allergic reactions, as well as social consequences such as bullying. Management recommendations for food allergies in schools should incorporate knowledge of both issues. Recent findings: Current recommendations for food allergy management in schools focus on appropriate avoidance measures and prompt recognition and treatment of allergic reactions. Guidelines focus upon a school...

Pediatric allergy and immunology in Brazil
Abstract The subspecialty of pediatric allergy and immunology in Brazil is in its early years and progressing steadily. This review highlights the research developed in the past years aiming to show the characteristics of allergic and immunologic diseases in this vast country. Epidemiologic studies demonstrated the high prevalence of asthma in infants, children, and adolescents. Mortality rates and average annual variation of asthma hospitalization have reduced in all pediatric age groups. Indoor aeroallergen exposure is excessively high and contributes to the high rates of allergy sensitization. Prevalence of food allergy...

School personnel's self‐efficacy in managing food allergy and anaphylaxis
ConclusionsThe study supports the use of self‐efficacy scale to identify specific areas where teachers’ confidence in their ability to care for food‐allergic students is especially weak. This would empower the development of training programs specifically tailored to the needs of teachers and caregivers.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

A065 long-term efficacy of a video module on resident and medical student understanding of penicillin allergy
Individuals with a reported penicillin allergy experience longer hospital stays and more adverse health outcomes. One significant barrier to “de-labeling” individuals of their reported allergy is lack of physician understanding of penicillin allergy. The goal of this study was to assess long-term efficacy of a brief educational video module on resident and medical student knowledge of penicillin allergy.

Review of 400 Consecutive Oral Food Challenges to Almond.
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients in our cohort, the probability of passing an almond OFC was 94%. Although higher almond sIgE level and SPT wheal size correlated with OFC failure, the pass rate remained >95% for patients with sIgE up to 10 kUA/L and SPT wheal size up to 5 mm. Among the patients who had a reaction to almond, anaphylaxis was uncommon. Our data support that performing outpatient OFCs to almond is safe for select patients.
