Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food hypersensitivity usually due to cow's milk or soy. Among the solid foods, rice is one of the most causative foods worldwide, but it varies depending on the geographic area. In the Mediterranean countries, fish is one of the most important triggers of FPIES.

This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial compared two OIT maintenance patterns with pasteurized egg white (PEW), evaluating the egg consumption effect on the desensitization state after ending the OIT.
Methods: One hundred and one children with confirmed egg allergy were randomized: 25 to an egg-free diet (CG) and 76 to an OIT year with PEW and two maintenance patterns, 38 patients to daily 3.
Article Synopsis
- Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that helps treat moderate-to-severe allergic asthma by inhibiting free immunoglobulin E, showing effectiveness mainly in adolescents and adults, but also in children aged 6-12.
- The article reviews various studies focused on the efficacy and safety of omalizumab in young children, discusses its integration into pediatric asthma management guidelines, and examines its pharmacoeconomic aspects.
- Expert commentary suggests that omalizumab is a safe and effective add-on therapy for children aged 6-12 with poorly controlled asthma, especially when used with other medications like corticosteroids and β2-agonists.
