Kestose Increases the Relative Abundance of spp. and Nominally Increases Cow Milk Tolerant Dose in Children with Cow's Milk Allergy - Preliminary Results.

A single-arm study was conducted with 10 children aged 2-12 years with severe cow's milk allergy (CMA) requiring complete allergen elimination. Subjects were administered kestose, a prebiotic, at 1 or 2 g/day for 12 weeks. Results of a subsequent oral food challenge (OFC) showed a statistically significant increase in the total dose of cow's milk ingestion (1.

Exercise-Induced Allergic Reactions in Children Desensitized to Hen's Eggs and Cow's Milk by Oral Immunotherapy.

Background: Exercise-induced allergic reactions on desensitization (EIARDs) after successful in-hospital rush oral immunotherapy (OIT) for wheat allergy have been reported. However, the incidence rates of EIARDs after rush OIT for egg allergy and milk allergy have not been determined.

Objective: To determine the frequency of EIARDs and risk factors associated with rush OIT for egg and milk allergy.

The clinical cross-reactivity and immunological cross-antigenicity of wheat and barley.

Background: Some patients with wheat allergy have been reported to show clinical cross-reactivity to barley. However, it is not clear whether the development of barley allergy in patients with wheat allergy is due to cross-antigenicity between wheat and barley. This study aimed to determine the clinical cross-reactivity and immunological cross-antigenicity of wheat and barley.

Exercise-induced allergic reactions after achievement of desensitization to cow's milk and wheat.

Background: We have previously reported that more than half of the patients who achieved desensitization after wheat rush oral immunotherapy (OIT) developed exercise-induced allergic reaction on desensitization (EIARD). However, data on EIARDs after slow OIT are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the results of exercise provocation tests (EPTs) in patients after slow OIT for cow's milk and wheat allergies.

[THE CASE OF A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO EXPERIENCED ANAPHYLAXIS DUE TO JELLYFISH (MASTIGIAS PAPUA) INGESTION].

We report a case of jellyfish allergy diagnosed via an oral food challenge. A 14-year-old boy had no history of jellyfish stings and had been eating commercially available jellyfish products twice yearly for the past 5-6 years. Five minutes after eating a commercially available boiled jellyfish product (100g), he experienced nausea, wheezing, and erythema and had visited our hospital.
