Objective: Patients with uncontrolled gout have few treatment options. Pegloticase lowers serum urate (SU) levels, but antidrug antibodies limit SU-lowering response and increase infusion reaction (IR) risk. Methotrexate (MTX) cotherapy increases pegloticase response rates and lowers IR risk in pegloticase-naïve patients.

Drug allergy encompasses a spectrum of immunologically-mediated hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) with varying mechanisms and clinical presentations. This type of adverse drug reaction (ADR) not only affects patient quality of life, but may also lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary investigations, and increased morbidity and mortality. Given the spectrum of symptoms associated with the condition, diagnosis can be challenging.

Tolerance to dietary antigens is critical for avoiding deleterious type 2 immune responses resulting in food allergy (FA) and anaphylaxis. However, the mechanisms resulting in both the maintenance and failure of tolerance to food antigens are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that the goblet-cell-derived resistin-like molecule β (RELMβ) is a critical regulator of oral tolerance.
