Background: Diagnosing anaphylaxis in children within the first 2 years of life can be difficult due to the often confusing and nonspecific signs and symptoms.
Objective: This study focuses on the phenotype of anaphylaxis in children within the first 2 years of life and aims to increase awareness of anaphylaxis in this age group.
Methods: The study included children between 0 and 2 years who were diagnosed as having anaphylaxis by pediatric allergists in 11 tertiary hospitals.

Studies of cold-induced urticaria (ColdU) in pediatric patients are limited and not well characterized. The objective of the study was to investigate the characteristics of ColdU in children. A multicenter, retrospective chart review was performed in children ages ≤18 years diagnosed with ColdU at 11 pediatric allergy and immunology centers in Turkey between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2022.

- * Recent studies examine the immunological aspects of COVID-19, highlighting protective factors against severity and mortality, as well as the role of childhood multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) in causing diverse symptoms.
- * Despite a decline in severe outcomes from COVID-19 thanks to vaccines, issues like breakthrough infections and potential allergic reactions to vaccines still pose challenges for managing the disease effectively.
Article Synopsis
- Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, there have been nearly 198 million confirmed cases globally, prompting research into the virus SARS-CoV-2 and its effects, particularly on individuals with allergies and asthma.
- This review evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on patients with asthma and other allergic conditions, suggesting that allergy mechanisms might offer some protective benefits against severe COVID-19 outcomes, though further research is required.
- It highlights important advancements in managing allergic diseases during the pandemic, along with recommendations from the European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology on allergy clinic operations and the potential allergic reactions from COVID-19 vaccinations.*
