A survey of inpatient practitioner knowledge of penicillin allergy at 2 community teaching hospitals.
CONCLUSION: There is an overall limited understanding of the management of patients with a history of penicillin allergy in the hospital setting, where collaborative efforts between allergy and nonallergy health care practitioners are sparse. The expansion of a multidisciplinary approach may optimize antimicrobial prescribing in this subset of patients. PMID: 28539186 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Immunological Basis of Food Allergy (IgE-Mediated, Non-IgE-Mediated, and Tolerance).
Authors: Kim EH, Burks W Abstract Food allergy includes a number of diseases that present with adverse immunological reactions to foods and can be IgE-mediated, non-IgE-mediated, or a combination of both mechanisms. IgE-mediated food allergy involves immediate hypersensitivity through the action of mast cells, whereas non-IgE-mediated food allergy is most commonly cell-mediated. These food allergies are thought to occur as a result of a breakdown in oral tolerance and, more specifically, from an aberrant regulatory T-cell response. Ongoing studies of experimental treatments for food allergy strive to induce oral to...

Natural history and long-term follow-up of Hymenoptera allergy
Purpose of review Information on the natural history of hypersensitivity reactions is helpful for deciding which patient urgently needs a venom immunotherapy (VIT). Recent findings The frequency of self-reported systemic allergic reactions (SAR) to Hymenoptera stings is approximately 3–7% in the Northern Hemisphere. About 25% of SAR are severe (anaphylactic shock). Fatal sting reactions are very rare. The most important risk factor for severe insect sting anaphylaxis is mast cell disease. Other risk factors are higher age, vespid venom allergy (in contrast to honeybee venom allergy), repeated stings, male sex, and t...

The high costs of food allergy
Between the near constant worry and strict monitoring of every type of food in the area, parenting a child with food allergy can be nerve-wracking and exhausting. And according to research published by JAMA Pediatrics, it can also be extremely expensive. The data shows pediatric food allergies cost an estimated $24.8 billion each year in the U.S, with a majority of that money coming from lost wages and missed career opportunities of the parents of children with food allergies whose jobs take a back seat to managing their child’s condition. “A child’s food allergy often affects more than just his or her ph...

Social and financial impacts of food allergy on economically-disadvantaged and -advantaged families: A qualitative interview study
CONCLUSION: Despite some qualitative similarities in the social and financial burdens of food allergy, there are some notable differences between economic groups, which underscore the need for further discussions surrounding related policy.PMID:33894341 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2021.04.020

Single-step direct drug provocation testing is safe for de-labelling selected "non-low-risk" penicillin allergy labels
CONCLUSION: In our cohort, direct single-step DPT was safe with only 6 patients with "non-low risk" allergy experiencing benign reactions. We hope further study can be performed into single-step direct DPT for interrogating "non-low risk" penicillin allergy labels.PMID:33865989 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2021.04.008

The development and implementation of a training package for dietitians on cow’s milk protein allergy in infants and children based on UK RCPCH competencies for food allergies – a pilot study
Conclusions Educating dietitians using the format of one day teaching with pre and post course assessment has improved both knowledge and competencies in the diagnosis and management of cow’s milk protein allergy. Further courses in other areas of food allergy could be developed using this approach within the UK and worldwide.

Benefits of subspecialty adherence after asthma hospitalization and patient perceived barriers to care.
CONCLUSION: These results showed improvement in outcomes for patients who attended AI follow-up and specifically identified key barriers that could be addressed in a standardized form to prevent nonadherence in the future. PMID: 28377171 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Use and Teaching of Telemedicine in Allergy/Immunology Training Programs
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe use of telemedicine has greatly increased since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This review discusses the types of telemedicine, current telehealth curricula in medical education, and benefits and disadvantages of incorporation of telemedicine into Allergy/Immunology training programs.Recent FindingsThe majority of Allergists/Immunologists use telemedicine in their clinical practice with leaders in graduate medical education recommending inclusion of telemedicine in training. Fellows-in-training reported that use of telemedicine in Allergy/Immunology training duri...
