Anaphylaxis, which is rare, has been reported after COVID-19 vaccination, but its management not standardized.Members of the European Network for Drug Allergy and Academy Clinical Immunology interested in drug allergy participated an online questionnaire on pre-vaccination screening allergic reactions to vaccines, literature was analysed.No death due anaphylaxis vaccines confirmed scientific literature. Potential allergens, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polysorbate tromethamine are excipients....
In drug hypersensitivity, provocation testing (DPT), also called challenge, is the gold standard for investigation. recent years, risk stratification has become an important tool adjusting diagnostic strategy to perceived risk, whilst still maintaining a high level of safety patient. Skin tests are recommended before DPT but may be omitted in low-risk patients. The task force suggests strict definition such patients children and adults. Based on experience evidence from studies allergy...
There is, so far, no universal definition of severe asthma. This usually relies on: number exacerbations, inhaled therapy, need for oral corticosteroids, and respiratory function. The use such parameters varies in the different definitions used. Thus, according to chosen, each patient may result having asthma or not. aim this study was evaluate how choice a specific can change allocation patients.Data collected from Severe Asthma Network Italy (SANI) registry were analyzed. All patients...
Delayed anaphylaxis after ingestion of red meat because galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) syndrome has increased in recent years. The mechanism involves an immunoglobulin E reaction to alpha-gal, a molecule found mammalian meat, dairy products, medications and excipients containing mammalian-derived components, tick salivary glycans. Sensitization occurs due the bite lone star transmission alpha-gal molecules into person's bloodstream. We describe case with severe food, drug,...
Microbiota composition and associated metabolic activities are essential for the education development of a healthy immune system. Microbial dysbiosis, caused by risk factors such as diet, birth mode, or early infant antimicrobial therapy, is with inception allergic diseases. In turn, diseases increase irrational use therapy. therapies, probiotics, have been studied in prevention treatment diseases, but evidence remains limited due to studies high heterogeneity, strain-dependent...
Abstract Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are invaluable therapeutic options in a variety of dyspeptic diseases. In addition to their well‐known risk profile, PPI consumption is related food and environmental allergies, dysbiosis, osteoporosis, as well immediate delayed hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). The latter, although rare event, around 1%–3%, due the extraordinarily high rate prescription PPIs substantial risk. this Position Paper, we provide clinicians with practical evidence‐based...
Abstract Introduction Guidelines recommend treating asthma exacerbations (AAEs) with bronchodilators combined inhaled and/or systemic corticosteroids. Indications for antibiotic prescriptions AAEs are usually not incorporated although the literature shows antibiotics frequently prescribed. Aim To investigate prescription rates in and explore possible determining factors of those practices. Methods A digital survey was created to determine influencing The distributed among European academy...
On the last day of this year's Congress European Academy Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) in Valencia, EAACI family unfortunately received unspeakably sad news that our dear colleague, long-time companion, loyal friend Peter Valentin Tomazic from Graz passed away on Monday, June 3, 2024 (Figure 1). We are deeply saddened by loss a brilliant allergist outstanding rhinosurgeon. Much more than his professional qualities, however, was characterized human character strengths. It always...
In December 2019, China reported the first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-related 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has developed into a pandemic. To date it resulted in ~5.6 million confirmed and 353,334 related deaths worldwide. Unequivocally, COVID-19 pandemic is gravest health socio-economic crisis our time. this context, numerous questions have emerged demand basic scientific information evidence-based medical advice on SARS-CoV-2...
Aim: We assessed the safety of allergoid adjuvanted by monophosphoryl lipid A (uSCIT-MPL-4) in a real-life setting. Materials & methods: Patients treated with uSCIT-MPL-4 were followed-up for 1 year. Systemic reactions (SRs) registered and association potential risk factors was evaluated. Results: 2929 patients included. Grade 0, 1, 2, 3 4 SR observed respectively 3.3, 1.5, 0.31, 0.07 0.07% patients. significant detected between ≥1 SRs and: female gender, number administrations, previous...
The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest in relation to this manuscript.
Currently available vaccines are safe but, potentially, any vaccine can cause an allergic reaction and albeit very rare, anaphylaxis occur. Although its rarity, the precise diagnostic management of a suspected post-vaccination is paramount importance due to risk potential serious reactions after re-exposure, while, misdiagnosis might lead increase in number children that interrupt vaccinations resulting unjustifiably individual collective loss protection against immune preventable diseases....
