Triggers of Anaphylaxis in Mastocytosis Patients: Evidence of the Current Drug-Avoidance Recommendation
Opinion statementMastocytosis is associated with a high risk of anaphylaxis, in part due to drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR). Drugs associated with mast cell activation include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), drugs used in the perioperative setting, including general anesthetics, neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and opiates/opioids, radiocontrast media (RCM), vaccines, and antibiotics such as quinolones and vancomycin. To protect patients against DHR and anaphylaxis, general avoidance of potential drug triggers is common practice, which often deprives patients of important drugs at times of need an...

The Role of IgA in the Manifestation and Prevention of Allergic Immune Responses
AbstractPurpose of ReviewImmunoglobulin A (IgA) mediates immune exclusion of antigens in the gut. Notably, IgA plays also a role in the prevention of IgE-mediated allergies and induction of immune tolerance. The present review addresses the role of IgA in the manifestation of IgE-mediated allergies, including allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT), the regulation of IgA production, and the mechanism of IgA in immune cell activation.Recent FindingsThe majority of studies report an association of IgA with the induction of immune tolerance in IgE-mediated allergies. However, reports on the involvement of humoral and mucosal Ig...

Effects of Allergen Exposure and Environmental Risk Factors in Schools on Childhood Asthma
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review aims to assess the prevalence of common allergen exposures and environmental risk factors for asthma in schools, examine the underlying mechanisms of these environmental risk factors, and explore possible prevention strategies.Recent FindingsCockroach, mouse, dust mites, fungi, viral infections, ozone pollution, and cleaning products are common allergen exposures and environmental risk factors in schools which may affect asthma morbidity. Novel modifiable environmental risk factors in schools are also being investigated to identify potential associations with increased asthma morbidity....

Omalizumab Treatment in Uncontrolled Asthma and CRSwNP Patients, with Previous Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, to Improve Quality of Life and Endoscopic Outcomes: a Two-Year Real-Life Study
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of omalizumab as an adjunct to endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on the treatment of CRSwNP under real-life conditions.Recent FindingsSince the introduction of omalizumab, as the first biologic agent for the treatment of diseases such as severe allergic asthma, different studies have demonstrated an effect of omalizumab on CRSwNP, with significant improvements in sinonasal symptoms and endoscopic scores. The high efficacy derived from mAb therapy and the need for ESS prior to mAb recommended by guidelines, has led to compare both therapeutic alternatives, finding discrepan...

Management of Mechanical Nasal Obstruction Isolated or Associated to Upper Airway Inflammatory Diseases in Real Life: Use of both Subjective and Objective Criteria
AbstractPurpose of ReviewMechanical nasal obstruction (MNO) is a prevalent condition with a high impact on patient ’s quality-of-life (QoL) and socio-economic burden. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of both subjective and objective criteria in the appropriate management of MNO, either alone or associated to upper airway inflammatory diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) or chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).Recent FindingsA long debate persists about the usefulness of subjective and objective methods for making decisions on the management of patients with nasal obstruction. Establi...

Allergen Stability in Food Allergy: A Clinician ’s Perspective
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe globally rising food allergy prevalence is associated with the urgent need for new disease prevention methods, efficient treatment, and reliable risk assessment methods for characterization of food allergens. Due to inter-individual variations in the digestive system, food allergens are degraded to a different extent in each person. Food processing also influences allergen digestion.Recent FindingsIn this review, we provide an overview of the digestive system with focus on relevance for food allergy. Main food proteins causing allergic reactions are evaluated, and the combined role of food proc...

Kestose Increases the Relative Abundance of < em > Faecalibacterium < /em > spp. and Nominally Increases Cow Milk Tolerant Dose in Children with Cow's Milk Allergy - Preliminary Results
Pol J Microbiol. 2023 Sep 20;72(3):299-306. doi: 10.33073/pjm-2023-030. eCollection 2023 Sep 1.ABSTRACTA single-arm study was conducted with 10 children aged 2-12 years with severe cow's milk allergy (CMA) requiring complete allergen elimination. Subjects were administered kestose, a prebiotic, at 1 or 2 g/day for 12 weeks. Results of a subsequent oral food challenge (OFC) showed a statistically significant increase in the total dose of cow's milk ingestion (1.6 ml vs. 2.7 ml, p = 0.041). However, the overall evaluation of the OFC results, TS/Pro (total score of Anaphylaxis Scoring Aichi (ASCA)/cumulative dose of protein),...

Forty-nine students from the USNA were evaluated for urticaria after their third COVID-19 booster vaccination. Seventeen individuals were diagnosed with CSU. The median age was 20 years and predominantly male; the median time interval between vaccination and the onset of urticaria was 11 days. Out of 13 referred to Allergy, 7 patients had CU index performed and 2 were positive. Four patients received a second booster vaccinatio...
