In the unusual health environment of the COVID 19 pandemic, allergists must adapt their exercise and their office or clinic, by strengthening hygiene and distancing precautions. In case of sanitary containment telehealth can, in many cases, replace face-to-face visits. Nevertheless, each practitioner must define the contingency planning and the priorities according to his own practice and the epidemic context.

Non-Allergist Delabeling - Should penicillin allergy delabeling only be performed by allergists?

Penicillin allergy labels (PAL) are common but rarely correspond with a patient's likelihood to tolerate penicillin. This results in unnecessary penicillin avoidance in many patients, driving numerous negative health outcomes. Evaluation strategies for PAL are driven by risk stratification and include a spectrum of modalities such as delabeling without any testing, direct oral challenge, and skin testing followed by challenge testing.

Background: Hypersensitivity reactions to chemotherapy disrupt treatment schedules and compromise patient outcomes. Rapid Drug Desensitization (RDD) enables patients to tolerate future treatments after an allergy workup. However, Same-Day Desensitization (SDD) is a novel approach that capitalizes on RDD to allow the continuation of chemotherapy on the same day as the index reaction, preventing treatment delays.

Aims: Sex and gender may influence penicillin allergy label (PAL) prevalence and outcomes. This review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of direct delabelling (DD) and oral challenge (OC) for low-risk patients and examines sex and gender differences in reporting and outcomes.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Database of Abstracts of Reviews and Effects, ClinicalTrials.
Primary prevention of food allergy: beyond early introduction.
Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy, Dalhousie University, IWK Health Centre, Halifax, NS, Canada.
Food allergy typically begins early in life and persists as a lifelong condition. Delayed introduction of allergenic foods followed by years of hesitancy to introduce these foods early may have contributed to the increase in food allergy prevalence in recent decades. Most infant feeding guidelines focus on the importance of early introduction of allergenic foods in infants at around age 4-6 months.
