Paediatric allergy practice in the era of coronavirus disease 2019
Purpose of review To summarize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the practice of paediatric allergy. Recent findings Given significant overlap in symptoms, care must be taken to differentiate routine allergic conditions from COVID-19 infection but it appears that most allergic diseases are not risk factors for a severe COVID-19 course. The full impact of restricted allergy/immunology ambulatory services will take months to years to fully understand. One benefit of having to adapt practice style is greater awareness and acceptance of shared decision-making and recognition of preference-sensitive care options...

The Challenges of Preventing Food Allergy: lessons learned from LEAP and EAT
Driven by both the continuing rise in food allergy prevalence1, 2 and the lack of an effective cure, the last decade has seen an increase in clinical trials investigating the prevention of food allergy. Earlier wisdom, predominantly derived from the findings of observational studies, considered that allergy prevention was best achieved through allergen avoidance.3, 4 After testing under randomised controlled trial (RCT) conditions, allergen avoidance has not been deemed a suitable means of preventing food allergy.

Peanut allergic patients in the MIRABEL survey: characteristics, allergists’ dietary advice and lessons from real life
Conclusion and clinical relevanceSevere/potentially severe reactions, allergic comorbidities, and low EDs in real life are frequent in peanut allergic patients. Asthma, teenage/adulthood and reaction to inhalation are associated with severe symptoms. PAL and criteria guiding dietary advice need to be improved.This article is protected by copyright.

Usage of allergy codes in primary care electronic health records: a national evaluation in Scotland
ConclusionsThis analysis of Read codes use suggests that, introduction of the more detailed SNOMED‐CT, in isolation, will not improve the quality of allergy coding in Scottish primary care. The introduction of SNOMED‐CT should be accompanied by initiatives aimed at improving coding quality, such as the definition of terms/codes, availability of terminology browsers, a recommended list of codes and mechanisms to incentivize detailed coding of the condition and the underlying allergic trigger.This article is protected by copyright.

Enhancing antibiotic stewardship by tackling “spurious” penicillin allergy
We describe lessons learnt from recent studies regarding possible reasons contributing to an inaccurate label of PenA as well as propose a concerted multidisciplinary approach to address this important public health problem. Given the unmet need for allergy services in the UK and several other countries and knowledge gaps regarding PenA amongst healthcare professionals, we describe the potential role for a computerized clinical decision support system to enable non‐specialists rapidly identify and de‐label “low‐risk” hospitalized patients with a label of PenA thereby obviating the need for allergy tests. This app...

COST Action ‘ImpARAS’: what have we learnt to improve food allergy risk assessment. A summary of a 4 year networking consortium
AbstractThe growing world population and increased pressure on agricultural resources are driving a shortage of dietary protein sources. As a result, industry is developing more sustainable novel food protein sources such as insects, algae and duckweed and using new processing techniques. Consumer exposure to these novel or processed proteins, could cause new food allergies, exacerbating a public health issue which is already directly affecting an estimated 20 million Europeans. Introduction of novel foods should not add to the burden of food allergy and this calls for a reliable, harmonised, evidence-based and validated a...

United airway disease: current perspectives
Pedro Giavina-Bianchi,* Marcelo Vivolo Aun,* Priscila Takejima, Jorge Kalil, Rosana Câmara Agondi Clinical Immunology and Allergy Division, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil*These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Upper and lower airways are considered a unified morphological and functional unit, and the connection existing between them has been observed for many years, both in health and in disease. There is strong epidemiologic, pathophysiologic, and clinical evidence supporting an integrated view of rhinitis and asthma: united airway disease in the pres...

Lessons of Drug Allergy Management Through the World Health Organization ’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11
AbstractPurposes of reviewIn order to introduce the advances and use of the new sub-section addressed to the drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) in the World Health Organizations ’ International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11 revision, we here proposed a used case document and discuss the perspective of this new framework.Recent findingsWe expect that the construction of the new section addressed to DHRs in the ICD-11 will allow the collection of more accurate epidemiological data to support quality management of patients with drug allergies, and better facilitate health care planning to implement public health m...

Alpha-gal phenotypes- lessons from various patient populations.
Abstract Galactose alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) is a carbohydrate epitope found on proteins and lipids in non-primate mammals and present in foods (particularly organ or fat-rich red meat) and medications, where it causes delayed onset and immediate onset anaphylaxis respectively. Several species of ticks contain alpha-gal epitopes and possibly salivary adjuvants that promote high titre sensitisation and clinical reactivity. Risk factors for alpha-gal syndrome include exposure to ticks of particular species. Age and gender differences seen in various cohorts possibly reflect the prevalence of these exposures th...

Ergonomic considerations in endoscopic sinus surgery: Lessons learned from laparoscopic surgeons.
CONCLUSION: Increasing surgeon awareness will allow for many basic ergonomic principles to be applied to endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Although many simple changes can be immediately made, there is a clear need for further study and abundant room for innovation. PMID: 23710962 [PubMed - in process]

Sublingual immunotherapy in southern Africa: Lessons learned
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is recommended in South Africa for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (with or without asthma) to house dust mites or grass pollens. Recent local studies have confirmed efficacy and safety but have also shown heterogeneity in clinical responses to the European SLIT vaccines used in the region. It has been found that regular follow-up with standardized rhinitis quality-of-life questionnaires improves compliance and encourages the patients to complete the 3-year SLIT course. Patients who discontinue usually do so in the first year because of logistic and financial reasons rather than adverse s...

Lessons Learned From GWAS of Asthma.
Authors: Kim KW, Ober C Abstract Asthma is a common complex disease of the airways. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of asthma have identified many risk alleles and loci that have been replicated in worldwide populations. Although the risk alleles identified by GWAS have small effects and explain only a small portion of prevalence, the discovery of asthma loci can provide an understanding of its genetic architecture and the molecular pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. These discoveries can translate into advances in clinical care by identifying therapeutic targets, preventive strategies and ultimatel...
