Prospective assessment of diagnostic tests for pediatric penicillin allergy, from clinical history to challenge tests ✰,✰✰,✰✰✰.
CONCLUSION: Conventional predictors of allergy to penicillin performed weakly. The authors propose straightforward penicillin provocation testing in controlled, experienced centers for the diagnosis of non-severe penicillin allergy in children. PMID: 29803713 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multinational experience with hypersensitivity drug reactions in Latin America.
CONCLUSION: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics were the drugs used in at least 75% of patients. More than half the reactions were treated in the emergency department, whereas epinephrine was administered in fewer than 25% of patients with anaphylaxis. Dissemination of guidelines for anaphylaxis among primary and emergency department physicians should be encouraged. PMID: 25065979 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Chronic sinusitis pathophysiology: The role of allergy.
CONCLUSION: Treatments of this disease include agents directed at allergic mediators such as leukotriene modifiers and corticosteroids, although this doesnot necessarily signify that an IgE-dependent mechanism can be ascribed. However, more recently, omalizumab has shown promise, including in patientswithout obvious aeroallergen sensitization. Although many aspects of the role of allergy in CHES remain a mystery, the mechanisms that are being elucidatedallow for improved understanding of this disease, which ultimately will lead to better treatments for our patients who live daily with this disease.

The impact and treatment of allergic rhinitis in the Middle East: A comparison with the landmark allergy surveys from other worldwide regions.
CONCLUSION: There remains an unmet need in the treatment of nasal allergies worldwide. The allergy surveys highlight the key factors in choosing an INCS: fast, complete, and long-lasting symptom relief. There is opportunity for novel INCS treatments that address these needs while reducing troublesome side effects. Patient education must play a central role in treatment decision making, particularly in the Middle East, to achieve higher patient satisfaction. PMID: 24070203 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors associated with negative histamine control for penicillin allergy skin testing in the inpatient setting.
CONCLUSION: Regression analysis supports ICU stay during skin testing as associated with a high OR for a negative histamine response independent of age. Systemic corticosteroids, H2 blockers, and older age are associated with a significant OR for a negative histamine response. This is one of largest studies on factors associated with a negative histamine response for the inpatient setting and has significant implications for clinical practice.

Monoclonal antibodies in allergy; updated applications and promising trials.
Authors: Ozdemir C Abstract Allergic disorders, as asthma, allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergies and anaphylaxis have an increasing burden in the general population and a growing body of evidence has shown that an increased interest has aroused to seek for more effective treatment strategies. Conventional pharmacotherapy by antihistamines, anti-leukotrienes, corticosteroids and bronchodilators can routinely control most of the cases, in addition to allergen avoidance which saves the date. Furthermore, allergen specific immunotherapy stands as the only curative method to treat the ...

An update on ocular allergy
Purpose of review: The update reviews prevalence, classification, cause, and treatment options for allergic eye disease. Recent findings: The incidence of allergic eye disease is underreported but may affect almost all patients with allergic rhinitis. Increased rates of oculonasal symptoms have been reported in the United States resulting in significant economic expenditures. The spectrum of allergic conjunctivitis and its differential considerations include seasonal and perennial conjunctivitis, vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis. Patients with allergic conjunctivitis have classic ...

Trends in prevalence and treatment of ocular allergy
Purpose of reviewThis review describes recent findings and trends in prevalence and treatment of allergic ocular diseases. Although the major focus is on seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, related disorders will also be considered. Recent findingsPublished reports from countries around the world suggest that the spectrum of atopic diseases, including seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, is continuing its pattern of increasing prevalence, which has been well documented over the past few decades. In addition, although treatment modalities have focused on topical formulations including antihistamines a...

Which infants with eczema are at risk of food allergy? Results from a population‐based cohort
Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceEczema, across the clinical severity spectrum in infancy, is a strong risk factor for IgE‐mediated food allergy. Infants with eczema were 6 times more likely to have egg allergy and 11 times more likely to have peanut allergy by 12 months than infants without eczema. Our data suggest that a heightened awareness of food allergy risk among healthcare practitioners treating infants with eczema, especially if early onset and severe, is warranted.This article is protected by copyright.

Steroid allergy: Clinical features and the importance of excipient testing in a diagnostic algorithm
Conclusion Patients with respiratory manifestations were significantly more likely to be truly allergic. CS allergies are rare and may be over-diagnosed without excipient testing. We suggest the use of Carmellose eye drops as a readily available source of carboxymethylcellulose for testing and propose a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm for suspected CS allergy.

Assessment of current practice of paediatric respiratory and allergy teams in Cambridge University Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic era and optimisation of the service
Introduction: The paediatric respiratory and allergy teams in Cambridge Hospital see patients with atopic and overlapping conditions, thus increasing travel for patients and hospital footfall. It is a tertiary reference hospital covering East England. Assessment of practice and changes of the service, in view of COVID-19 pandemic.Method: Retrospective assessment of patients: a) referred between the specialties (1/4/19- 31/3/20), investigations booked (lung function, skin prick testing, specific IgE, peak flow, inhaler and nasal spray technique) and patient flow. b) currently being seen by both teams (1/4/18-31/3/20).R...
