Article Synopsis
- Anaphylaxis is a serious and potentially fatal allergic reaction; this study aimed to explore its frequency and the characteristics of biphasic reactions, which can occur in some patients after initial anaphylaxis.
- The research analyzed data from 264,689 pediatric patients between 2010 and 2017, finding that 353 were hospitalized for anaphylaxis, with 6 of those cases (1.7%) exhibiting biphasic reactions.
- The study highlighted the need for careful monitoring after anaphylaxis, as biphasic reactions occurred frequently, with a median onset time of around 5.9 hours after the initial reaction.
Background: Pollen food Syndrome (PFS) to Rosaceae fruits and soybean, related to Bet v 1 homologue sensitization has been reported increasingly throughout Japan, possibly due to the wide distribution of alder.
Methods: In 2015, we conducted a school-based questionnaire survey among two age groups; students in primary school (Years 1-2) and secondary school (Years 8-9) from each of the 47 prefectures of Japan. We analyzed the prevalence, demographic and clinical characteristics of children with oral symptoms to Rosaceae fruits/soybean; defined as oral symptoms occurring shortly after ingesting apple, peach, cherry or soybean.
Background: Anaphylactic reactions to opioids are rare. We report a case of an infant who experienced fentanyl-induced anaphylaxis.
Case Presentation: A 2-month-old male was scheduled to undergo a Blalock-Taussig shunt.
Background: Ipratropium bromide (IB), when administered with β2-agonists, is effective in reducing hospital admissions of children presenting to the emergency department (ED) with severe asthma. While IB is commonly delivered in its nebulized form, using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), can, reportedly, shorten patients' length of stay in the ED. However, the effectiveness and safety of IB administration using an MDI with a spacer have not been established.
