Egg allergy (EA),along with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and atopic dermatitis (AD is one of the most frequent allergies in children. Tolerance to food allergens seems to be related to the early and regular intake and the cooking method. The objective of this study is to prove that the introduction of baked eggs at 4-6 months of age and its daily maintenance for 6 months prevents EA.

Background: Severe pediatric allergic asthma (SPAA) induces a huge economic burden in terms of direct, indirect, and intangible costs. The use of omalizumab for the treatment of these patients has produced a significant improvement in several clinical outcomes, but at the same time, the cost for the management of the disease has also increased. The aim of this report was to evaluate whether the use of omalizumab is cost-effective.

Introduction: Severe asthma is a rare disease in children, for which three biologicals, anti-immunoglobulin E, anti-interleukin-5 and anti-IL4RA antibodies, are available in European countries. While global guidelines exist on who should receive biologicals, knowledge is lacking on how those guidelines are implemented in real life and which unmet needs exist in the field. In this survey, we aimed to investigate the and identify open questions in biological therapy of childhood asthma across Europe.

Background: Various studies have assessed omalizumab outcomes in the clinical practice setting but follow-up and/or number of patients included were limited. We aim to describe the long-term outcomes of pediatric patients with severe persistent allergic asthma receiving omalizumab in the largest real-life cohort reported to date.

Methods: ANCHORS was a multicenter, observational, retrospective cohort study conducted in 25 Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology units in Spain.

Background: Phosphoglucomutase-3 (PGM3) deficiency is a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) with hyperimmunoglobulin IgE, atopy, and a variable immunological phenotype; most reported patients display dysmorphic features. The aim of the study was to characterize the genotype and phenotype of individuals with newly identified compound heterozygous variants in the phosphate-binding domain of PGM3 in order to better understand phenotypic differences between these patients and published cases.

Methods: We analyzed PGM3 protein expression, PGM3 enzymatic activity, the presence of other gene variants within the N-glycosylation pathway, and the clinical and immunological manifestations of two affected siblings.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving 91 walnut-allergic individuals and 24 controls aimed to explore the relationships between specific IgE levels and clinical reactions in walnut allergy, revealing high sensitivity in younger patients.
  • * Findings indicated that younger patients exhibited more severe allergic reactions and higher IgE levels to particular walnut proteins, suggesting that sensitization and severity of reactions are related, especially regarding certain storage proteins.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of different types of nasal septum deformity (NSD) on nasal obstruction, rhinitis severity and response to medical treatment among pediatric persistent allergic rhinitis (PER) patients.

Methods: In a prospective, real-life study, 150 children and adolescents (mean age 13 ± 2.8 years, females 32.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common chronic disease among children. To characterize the disease, a modified classification of severity (m-ARIA) has recently been validated in AR children. When medical treatment fails, surgery for nasal obstructive disorders (NOD) may be a therapeutic option.
