Food allergy can result in considerable morbidity, impact negatively on quality of life, and prove costly terms medical care. These guidelines have been prepared by the European Academy Allergy Clinical Immunology's (EAACI) Guidelines for Anaphylaxis Group, building previous EAACI position papers adverse reaction to foods three recent systematic reviews epidemiology, diagnosis, management food allergy, provide evidence-based recommendations diagnosis allergy. While primary audience is...
Abstract The exponential growth of precision diagnostic tools, including omic technologies, molecular diagnostics, sophisticated genetic and epigenetic editing, imaging nano‐technologies patient access to extensive health care, has resulted in vast amounts unbiased data enabling in‐depth disease characterization. New endotypes have been identified for various allergic diseases triggered the gradual transition from a description focused on symptoms identifying biomarkers intricate...
Discovered and described 40 years ago, non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTP) are present in many plant species play an important role protecting plants from stressors such as heat or drought. In the last 20 years, sensitization to nsLTP consequent reactions foods has become increasing concern.The aim of this paper is review evidence for structure function allergens, cross-reactivity, sensitization, epidemiology allergy.A Task Force, supported by European Academy Allergy & Clinical...
Abstract This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology guideline provides recommendations for diagnosing IgE‐mediated food allergy was developed using the Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Food diagnosis starts with an allergy‐focused clinical history followed by tests to determine IgE sensitization, such as serum allergen‐specific (sIgE) skin prick test (SPT), basophil activation (BAT), if available. Evidence sensitization should be...
Atopy is not uncommon among children living in rural Crete, but wheeze and rhinitis are rare. A study was undertaken to examine whether this discrepancy could be attributed a high consumption of fresh fruit vegetables or adherence traditional Mediterranean diet.A cross-sectional survey performed 690 aged 7-18 years Crete. Parents completed questionnaire on their child's respiratory allergic symptoms 58-item food frequency questionnaire. Adherence diet measured using scale with 12 dietary...
Summary This guideline advises on the management of patients with egg allergy. Most commonly, allergy presents in infancy, a prevalence approximately 2% children and 0.1% adults. A clear clinical history detection white‐specific IgE (by skin prick test or serum assay) will confirm diagnosis most cases. Egg avoidance advice is cornerstone management. often resolves re‐introduction can be achieved at home if reactions have been mild there no asthma. Patients severe asthma should reintroduction...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a pandemic infectious transmitted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Allergists and other healthcare providers (HCPs) in field of allergies associated airway diseases are on front line, taking care patients potentially infected with SARS-CoV-2. Hence, strategies practices to minimize risks infection for both HCPs treated have be developed followed allergy clinics.The scientific information COVID-19 was analysed...
Pollen food syndrome (PFS) is a highly prevalent allergy affecting pollen-sensitized children and adults. Sufferers experience allergic symptoms when consuming raw plant foods, due to the homology between pollen allergens unstable proteins in these foods. The triggers involved can vary depending on sensitization, which turn affected by geographical location. British Society of Allergy Clinical Immunology (BSACI) Standards Care Committee (SOCC) identified need develop guideline for diagnosis...
Abstract Background IgE‐mediated food allergy (FA) is a global health concern with substantial individual and societal implications. While diverse intervention strategies have been researched, inconsistencies in reported outcomes limit evaluations of FA treatments. To streamline promote consistent reporting, the Core Outcome Measures for Food Allergy (COMFA) initiative aimed to establish Set (COS) clinical trials observational studies interventions. Methods The project involved review...
This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) guideline provides recommendations for the management IgE-mediated food allergy was developed using Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Following confirmation diagnosis, allergen avoidance dietary advice (with support a specialised dietitian, if possible) together with provision written treatment plan, education on recognition allergic symptoms prescription medication including...
Although pollen-related food allergy occurs in all European populations, lipid transfer protein (LTP) is considered to manifest mainly Mediterranean countries. We aimed characterize adults presenting with LTP a northern country.The clinical history and sensitization patterns of subjects born residing the United Kingdom (UK), prior diagnosis peach allergen Pru p 3, were compared UK pollen syndrome (PFS). The also evaluated against matched cohort Italian diagnosed allergy.None 15 PFS had...
This guideline advises on the management of patients with egg allergy. Most commonly allergy presents in infancy, a prevalence approximately 2% children and 0.1% adults. A clear clinical history will confirm diagnosis most cases. Investigation by measuring egg-specific IgE (by skin prick testing or specific assay) is useful moderate-severe cases where there diagnostic uncertainty. Following an acute allergic reaction, avoidance advice should be provided. Egg usually resolves, reintroduction...
