Background: Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) and asthma are frequently present in children with food allergy. We assessed BHR in children receiving oral immunotherapy (OIT) for persistent egg or peanut allergy and examined whether OIT affects asthma control.
Methods: Methacholine challenge testing was performed in 89 children with persistent egg or peanut allergy diagnosed by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge and 80 control children without food allergy.
The burden of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and its relation to asthma in Finland.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is commonly associated with asthma. Treatment of CRSwNP includes intranasal and systemic corticosteroids, with non-responsive patients commonly considered for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This nationwide register-based study evaluated the incidence, prevalence, and treatment burden of CRSwNP in Finland, and their association with the presence and severity of comorbid asthma.

- Anaphylaxis cases have risen in Europe, with a prevalence of 0.3% and an incidence of 1.5-7.9 per 100,000 person-years, and the link between allergic multimorbidity and anaphylaxis in adults is being explored.
- A study used Finnish population data showing that adults with multiple allergic conditions had a higher risk of experiencing anaphylaxis, particularly when food allergy and asthma were involved.
- The findings indicate that the risk of anaphylaxis increases with the number of allergic diseases, suggesting that individuals with multiple allergies, especially food allergies combined with asthma, should be monitored closely for anaphylaxis risk.
