Background: In 2017, the Addendum Guidelines for the Prevention of Peanut Allergy were published with recommendations on early introduction of peanut-containing foods based on infants' clinical history.
Objective: We sought to conduct a nationwide US survey to assess Guidelines implementation among allergists and immunologists who manage infants for food allergy.
Methods: Survey invitations were delivered to 3281 nonretired, US members of the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, board certified in allergy and immunology.
Importance: The 2017 Addendum Guidelines for the Prevention of Peanut Allergy in the United States recommend that pediatricians assess infant peanut allergy risk and introduce peanut in the diet at age 4 to 6 months. Early introduction has the potential to prevent peanut allergy development.
Objectives: To measure the rates of guideline awareness and implementation and to identify barriers to and factors associated with implementation among US pediatricians.
Article Synopsis
- Rhinitis is highly prevalent in urban children with asthma, affecting 93.5% of a studied group, with perennial allergic rhinitis being the most common and severe type.
- The study analyzed 619 children and found that many remained symptomatic despite treatment, especially those with difficult-to-control asthma.
- The findings suggest that rhinitis and asthma are closely linked, representing two manifestations of the same underlying airway condition.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease. A subset of patients with AD are susceptible to disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, a complication termed eczema herpeticum (ADEH+). The immune mechanisms causing ADEH+ remain elusive.
