Three crucial areas of the management of anaphylaxis due to food allergy are discussed: making a diagnosis, deciding who needs a self-injectable adrenaline device and spotting the novel allergen. Managing children and teenagers with anaphylaxis is challenging due to the lack of available evidence that specific addresses these issue. The available evidence is presented and discussed.

Persistence, severity and reactivity thresholds in fish allergic patients sensitized to parvalbumin.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
December 2024
Servicio de Alergia, Hospital Clínico San Carlos, IdISSC, Madrid, Spain; Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:
Background: Fish allergy affects children and adults worldwide and there are transient and persistent phenotypes.
Objective: We aimed to analyze persistence, severity and reactivity thresholds in challenge-confirmed fish allergic patients sensitized to parvalbumin.
Methods: Patients 12-65 years-old reporting immediate reactions to fish, with fish skin prick test ≥5 mm and IgE to cod and carp β-parvalbumins ≥0.
The Role of Neutrophils in Allergic Disease.
Clin Exp Immunol

Discipline of Paediatrics, School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Neutrophils are short-lived cells of the innate immune system and represent 50-70% of the circulating leucocytes. Their primary role is antimicrobial defence which they accomplish through rapid migration to sites of inflammation followed by phagocytosis, degranulation and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETosis). While previously considered terminally-differentiated cells, they have been shown to have great adaptability and to play a role in conditions ranging from cancer to autoimmunity.

Allergists perform a range of procedures with inherent risks of anaphylaxis. This study developed risk assessments for various procedures performed at our specialized referral center based on the frequency of epinephrine use during these procedures. During a 5.

Despite its efficacy, sugammadex's adverse reactions range from mild symptoms to severe cases, including anaphylaxis and coagulopathy. Assessing the nature of these reactions using the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database is vital for safe anesthetic practice.

Food allergies are pathological adverse reactions against harmless dietary proteins. While studies have shown the involvement of host metabolic changes (, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism) in the development of food allergy (FA), the adaptive changes in glucose metabolism induced by food allergen exposure remain largely unclear. In this study, BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with an ovalbumin (OVA)/aluminum adjuvant, followed by oral OVA challenges to induce anaphylaxis.
