Investigating innate immune mechanisms in early-life development and outcomes of food allergy
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported an approximately 50% increase in the prevalence of reported food allergies in children from 1997 to 2011,1 with estimates of up to 6 million American children with food allergies at an economic cost of approximately $25 billion per year.1,2 Notably, a good proportion of these subjects will have immunologic tolerance and resolution of food allergy.3 For example, food allergy resolution can be observed in 43% to 57% of children with milk allergy in early to late childhood (2 –10 years)3: 47% to 50% of children with egg allergy in early to late childhood (2–9 ...

Delabeling Penicillin Allergy in a Pediatric Primary Care Clinic
Reported adverse drug reactions to penicillins are common, affecting between 10-20% of the North American population; however, more than 90% of patients with a penicillin allergy label can safely tolerate penicillins 1, 2. Numerous adverse outcomes are associated with labeled penicillin allergy 1, 2. In light of this, appropriate diagnosis and verification of a penicillin allergy label is crucial to achieving optimal health outcomes and has been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology 3.

Prevalence of self-reported food allergy in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010
Food allergy is a common condition, with widely varying estimates of prevalence worldwide and within the United States. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a periodic survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that examines a nationally representative sample of approximately 5000 subjects each year. Further description of can be found in this article's Online Repository at www.jacionline.org. In the 2 most recently published NHANES, 2007-2008 and 2009-2010, information on specific food allergies was collected by questionnaire....

Current status of standardization of inhalant allergen extracts in Korea.
Authors: Jeong KY, Lee JH, Kim EJ, Lee JS, Cho SH, Hong SJ, Park JW
Abstract
Allergy diagnosis and immunotherapy in Korea rely mostly on imported allergen extracts. However, some allergens that are not important in Western countries are not commercially available, and even the same species of allergen source often displays differences in allergenicity due to amino acid sequence polymorphisms. Therefore, it is essential to prepare allergen extracts that reflect regional characteristics. Allergen standardization has been performed since 2009 with the support of the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Her...

Early Solid Food Introduction: Role in Food Allergy Prevention and Implications for Breastfeeding
Food allergy is estimated to affect 2%-10% of the population worldwide.1 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported an increase in food allergy prevalence in the US from 3.4% to 5.1% between 1997 and 2011.2 As a result, the focus in food allergy research has shifted from treatment to prevention.2

Why should I be evaluated for a penicillin allergy?
Taking action to be evaluated for a penicillin allergy can impact your health, safety and wallet. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10% of the U.S. population reports a penicillin allergy, but less than 1% is allergic after testing. Common penicillins include ampicillin, amoxicillin and Augmentin. Penicillin allergy is an abnormal reaction of your immune system to the antibiotic drug prescribed for treating various bacterial infections. These medications are used often to treat ear…

Mayo Clinic Minute: A tick to blame for the alpha-gal, meat allergy
You may have heard about alpha-gal syndrome, also known as the meat allergy illness or tick bite meat allergy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says most diagnosed cases are in the southern, eastern and central parts of the U.S. It also has been diagnosed in Europe, Australia, Asia, South Africa, and South and Central America. It can be a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The American Gastroenterological Association recently added guidance to medical professionals to watch for…

'More likely to be murdered' than die from food allergies
The CDC estimates that around 4-6% of children in the US suffer from food allergies. Severe food allergies can lead to anaphylaxis - a reaction that causes swelling and breathing difficulties. Although a serious condition, a new study suggests that a person is more likely to be murdered than die from a food allergy.Food allergies are increasingly becoming a safety and public health concern worldwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that prevalence of food allergies increased 18% between 1997 and 2007.

Antibiotic reclamation: penicillin allergy, antibiotic stewardship, and the allergist
During the past decade, interest, mounting evidence, and increasingly vigorous calls have all revolved around the issue of implementing antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs). This movement crystallized into a formalized structure and approach with a policy statement jointly published by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society in 2012.1 This was followed by a recommendation issued in 2014 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, urging hospitals in the United States to adopt ASPs.

Common questions in food allergy avoidance
Food allergies affect up to 5% to 8% of children in the United States1,2 and may be increasing in prevalence3 as evidenced by a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which noted a 50% increase in the United States between 1997 and 2011.4 Although many foods have been reported to trigger allergic reactions, the most common causes of significant allergic reactions are milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and seeds.5 Although treatment options for food allergies, such as oral and epicutaneous immunotherapy, have shown potential, they are not currently approved for general use by the...

Outpatient penicillin skin testing has greater value in targeted patient populations
β-Lactam allergy is a major component of antimicrobial stewardship today due to its reported associations with increased healthcare costs, drug toxicity, infections with drug-resistant bacteria, and use of less-preferred antibiotic therapies.1,2 It remains the most common reported medication allerg y in the United States, with an estimated prevalence of 10%.1 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Infectious Disease Society of America, among other institutions, recommend the performance of penicillin skin testing (PST) as part of antimicrobial stewardship.

Asthma and COVID-19 pandemic: focused on the eosinophil count and ACE2 expression
Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol. 2021 Sep 10. doi: 10.23822/EurAnnACI.1764-1489.233. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, the world is engaged with a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has proposed moderate to severe asthma as a risk factor for COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. However, current evidences have not identified asthma in the top 10 comorbidities associated with COVID-19 fatalities. It raises the question that why patients with different type of asthma are not more vulnerable to S...
