Background: There is currently little research into factors predicting the results of an initial diagnostic oral food challenge (OFC) test for food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).
Objective: The present study aimed to identify predictors of the diagnosis of hen's egg yolk-induced FPIES (HEY-FPIES).
Methods: The present monocentric study was performed at Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center and included patients who underwent hen's egg yolk OFC (HEY-OFC) between March 2018 and March 2023 to assess for HEY-FPIES.
Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and economic impact of diazepam suppositories with as-needed acetaminophen in comparison with as-needed acetaminophen alone for prevention of seizure recurrence during the same fever episode in suspected pediatric simple febrile seizures (SFS).
Methods: This single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted from July 29, 2019 to February 15, 2021 at a children's hospital. Children aged 6 months to 60 months presenting to the emergency department with suspected SFS were included.
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: Global surveys and cohort studies have been conducted to evaluate the prevalence of allergic disease in childhood, but only a few nationwide surveys have been conducted in Japan. We aimed to report the prevalence of childhood allergic disease in Japan and determine the prevalence distribution by sex and prefecture.
Methods: In 2015, we conducted a school-based questionnaire survey using the Japanese version of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire among two age groups: primary school students (PS, 6-8 years old) and middle school students (MS, 13-15 years old).
