Background: Neuraxial anesthesia is the gold standard for cesarean sections, but general anesthesia is sometimes necessary, especially in emergency cases. Anaphylactic shock due to succinylcholine, a commonly used neuromuscular blocking agent, is rare but life-threatening.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman with severe preeclampsia and a history of intracranial vascular malformations underwent an emergency cesarean section.

Background: Efficacy of allergen immunotherapy is dose-dependent; however, high doses of allergen may imply a greater risk of adverse reactions.
Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with mixtures of mite allergen extracts, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus/Blomia tropicalis (Dpt/Bt) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus/Lepidoglyphus destructor (Dpt/Ld) at maximum concentrations, in adult patients with allergic rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis, and controlled allergic asthma due to a clinically relevant sensitisation to these mites.
Methods: An open-label, noncontrolled, nonrandomised, phase IIb clinical trial was carried out in three hospitals in Spain between September 2014 and May 2018.

Methemoglobinemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in which hemoglobin is oxidized, impairing the oxygen-carrying capacity. While congenital forms exist, acquired methemoglobinemia can occur in perioperative settings, especially following exposure to oxidizing agents such as dyes used in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Patent Blue V, a synthetic aniline dye commonly used for SLNB, has been associated with rare but serious adverse effects, including methemoglobinemia.

Background: Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is commonly prescribed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. However, it can also trigger a severe drug reaction known as Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) or Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DIHS). This article aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of DRESS/DIHS induced by SSZ and provide evidence for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Lactation anaphylaxis is extremely rare and has been scarcely reported in the literature. Breast feeding and/or milk expression immediately induces life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, including generalized urticaria, angioedema, respiratory symptoms, and hypotension. Six English-language case reports have described the clinical course in detail.

Background: Piperacillin-tazobactam is used in patients with cystic fibrosis to treat recurrent respiratory infections. Exposure is associated with a high frequency of non-immediate hypersensitivity.
Objective: To assess the applicability of the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) for the diagnosis of piperacillin hypersensitivity and the influence of desensitization on piperacillin-specific T-cell responses.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) binds with high affinity to its receptor, FcεRI, on mast cells and basophils, and cross-linking of allergen-specific IgE by minute amounts of multivalent allergen stimulates a powerful and immediate allergic reaction. In this issue of , Zhang report the three-dimensional structures of the human and murine receptors, with and without bound IgE-Fc, to reveal some intriguing differences between mouse and human in this critical antibody-receptor interaction.

Recommendations on Early Childhood Allergy Prevention (ECAP) are found in Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG). This synthesis of guidelines aims to compare the methodological quality and content of recommendations in CPGs and FBDGs for ECAP. We searched MEDLINE, the FAO directory of FBDGs and other guideline databases, including the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF), the WHO and the Guideline International Networks database on clinical guidelines (GIN) for CPGs and FBDGs about ECAP and child nutrition.

Introduction: Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is characterized by direct injury to the epidermal cells, activating the innate immune response. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), in contrast, is delineated by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction of type IV. Despite the distinct etiopathogenic mechanisms under-pinning each condition, the differentiation between them presents a significant diagnostic challenge.

Purpose: To evaluate tissue glue-assisted plaque placement regarding accuracy, stability, and longer-term outcomes for choroidal tumors with scleral thinning.
Methods: All patients with tissue glue-assisted plaque radiotherapy at a single ocular oncology center were evaluated for patient demographics, tumor features, surgical details, tumor response, and glue-related complications.
Results: There were 13 patients (mean age 72 years) treated with tissue glue-assisted plaque radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma (n=12) or choroidal metastasis (n=1).

Background: Since the publication of the 2022 Drug Allergy Practice Parameters (DAPP) of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI), it is unclear the extent to which the simplified and risk-stratified evaluation of cephalosporin allergy has been incorporated into allergy practice.
Objective: We aimed to assess current cephalosporin allergy testing practices using real case examples.
Methods: An 18-question REDCap survey was sent to the 136 members of the Adverse Reactions to Drugs, Biologics and Latex (ARDBL) Committee of the AAAAI between February and April 2023.

In office methods for immediate relief of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) has long been an area of research. This study compared the efficacy of 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and amorphous calcium phosphate-casein phosphopeptide (ACP-CPP) agent in the treatment of DH. A total of 39 patients with minimum three hypersensitive teeth in at least one quadrant were selected and randomly divided into three groups; Group A, B, and C patients were treated by 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and ACP-CPP agent, respectively.

Since 2011, indocyanine green (ICG) has been increasingly used in surgery as a diagnostic tool. Although allergic reactions to this fluorescent dye are considered rare, they can result in anaphylactic shock. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman who developed anaphylaxis immediately after ICG administration during laparoscopic-assisted high anterior resection.
