Background: Patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and/or mild or moderate asthma derived from birch-family pollen allergy can be treated with liquid sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT-liquid). This study evaluated the impact of two SLIT extracts on AR and asthma progression or onset in these patients.
Methods: This was a sub-analysis of a retrospective, longitudinal comparative cohort study that used a German prescription database.

Although the most prevalent plant food allergy in the United Kingdom (UK) is pollen food syndrome (PFS), there is increasing evidence that reactions to plant foods could also be due to sensitisation to Lipid Transfer Proteins (LTP). These proteins, highly resistant to heat and processing, are present in raw, cooked and processed plant foods and often provoke moderate to severe symptoms. LTP allergy is common in Mediterranean countries, but there is a lack of epidemiological data from Northern Europe, although small case series have been published characterising LTP allergy in both England and Scotland.

Bitot's spots, defined as white foamy triangular or round-shaped spots with the base located at the temporal limbus and the apex towards the lateral canthus, were initially associated with vitamin A deficiency (VAD). More recently, Bitot's spots were also described in patients with normal vitamin A levels, associated with aniridia, dry-eye syndrome and post-thermal or chemical injury, as well as the usage of benzalkonium chloride (BAK) eyedrops. The aim of this article is to present the management of Bitot-like spots in a patient with congenital aniridia.

Pollinosis is the most prevalent allergic disorder. Assessing the impact of real-world pollen exposure on symptoms remains challenging due to extensive patient-level efforts required. This study explores the potential of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to investigate the relationship between airborne pollen concentrations and antihistamine residues in wastewater as an indicator of pollinosis symptom treatment at the population-scale.
