The study describes the demographic features, culprit foods, clinical features and outcomes for children presenting with acute fish and/or shellfish food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in four Italian paediatric allergy centres.A retrospective/prospective was undertaken. All diagnosed or FPIES were enrolled. diagnosis of based on Sicherer's Miceli Sopo criteria. Skin prick tests (SPT) performed all patients, at time prior to OFC.Seventy Mean age first episode 14 months (range...
Background and Study Aims: The need to administer procedural sedation children has increased in recent years, as experience this field among nonanesthesiologists. Using propofol makes it easier achieve sufficiently deep sedation. There is a considerable literature on the administration of by nonanesthesiologists for gastroscopy adults, but very few data are available issue children. aim present study was assess safety efficacy with pediatric ward trained personnel monitoring facilities....
Abstract The association between food allergy and celiac disease (CD) is still to be clarified. We screened for CD 319 patients with severe (IgE > 85 kU/l against proteins a history of allergic reactions) who underwent specific oral immunotherapy (OIT), together 128 children mild recovered without OIT, compared the prevalence data our historical regarding healthy schoolchildren. Sixteen (5%) one (0.8%) tested positive both genetic serological markers, while among schoolchildren was 1%....
Background: Idiopathic histaminergic angioedema (IH-AAE) is a pathological entity poorly described in the literature. It overlaps with some forms of chronic urticaria, especially pediatrics. Objective: This study descriptive analysis this form angioedema’s natural history and prognosis. The aim to describe long-term data about course clinical entity, including presentation, recurrence, response therapy, emphasizing follow-up outcome. Methods: We performed retrospective monocentric at Allergy...
Pain is a neglected problem in children with cognitive impairments, and few studies compare the clinical use of specific pain scales. We compared Non-Communicating Children's Checklist Postoperative Version (NCCPC-PV), Echelle Douleur Enfant San Salvador (DESS) Hospital Eastern Ontario Scale (CHEOPS). The first two were developed for impairment, third more general scale.Two external observers child's caregiver assessed 40 impairment levels. inter-rater agreement, correlation, dependence on...
Background: needle-related procedures (venipuncture, intravenous cannulation) are the most common source of pain and distress for children. reducing needle related anxiety could be important in order to prevent further distress, especially children needing multiple hospital admissions. aim present open randomized controlled trial was investigate efficacy adding an active distraction strategy (videogame) eMlA premedication Methods: one-hundred nine (4 -10 years age) were prospectively...
Abstract Background Some studies addressed the issue of omalizumab (OML) effectiveness in children starting their first oral immunotherapy (OIT) attempt but no study investigated possible role OML setting patients with persisting milk allergy after a failed OIT attempt. Methods Single‐center, prospective, observational selected group and severe cow (CM) associated moderate allergic asthma, which previous had already failed. We performed an open food challenge (OFC) to identify who tolerated...
Procedural sedation is generally recommended for children requiring repeated painful diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. A child with leukemia undergoes an average of 20 procedures such as lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspiration through the course illness. No data are currently available about psychological impact sedations on children. The objective this study was to evaluate attitudes patients toward deep using propofol. questionnaire addressing sedation-related distress given 30...
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a promising therapeutic approach for children with persistent IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) but data are still limited.
The penicillins (amoxicillin) are among the most effective and safe antibiotics for many common bacterial respiratory infections in paediatric age should be avoided only when a true allergy is highly suspected. Severe antibiotic allergies rare often overestimated. In high-income countries, 5-15% of patients report penicillin allergy. However, cases (> 95%), these do not have immunologically mediated they may very likely tolerate upon new exposure. All defined as allergic carefully...

An increased frequency of celiac disease (CeD) has been reported in severe Immunoglobulin E (IgE) -mediated food allergy (FA). This observation requires confirmation, and whether CeD affects FA severity resolution is unknown. The study aims to estimate the prevalence patients with investigate oral tolerance.Consecutive referred for allergen reintroduction, either evaluate or start immunotherapy (OIT), were evaluated severity. primary outcome was CeD. Secondary outcomes level clinical...
Introduction: pain is a frequent and relevant problem in children with severe cognitive impairments. Assessing these patients can be difficult. Specific observational tools such as the Collignon Giusiano Questionnaire or Non-communicating Children's Pain Checklist ( NCCPC) are available, but their use not widespread. Children impairment frequently need of painful procedures data about availability procedural sedation this setting limited. Objective study: to evaluate paediatricians'...
Abstract Background There are no universally accepted criteria for discontinuing milk oral immunotherapy (MOIT) in patients with persistent cow allergy (CMA) and little data available on predictive risk factors dropping out from (OIT), due to allergic reactions or other reasons. Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of severe CMA undergoing MOIT a tertiary care center hospital investigate associated discontinuation OIT. Persistent was defined as the history systemic any...
Food allergy is the primary cause of anaphylaxis in paediatric age affecting roughly 4% children and their families worldwide, requiring changes dietary habits. The prognosis for food has traditionally been regarded as good most frequent allergens, however cow's milk pediatric currently considered to be worse than previously believed. There now enough evidence that measures avoidance at risk did not have any preventive effect whatsoever, but they still came counterproductive by avoiding...
Early introduction oral immunotherapy (E-OIT) in the first year of life can be a safe treatment for infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA). Once protocol is completed, doubts remain whether children achieve tolerance or desensitized. According to current guidelines, this determined by an avoidance period followed re-exposure food allergen during in-hospital challenge (OFC). In real life, approach complicated, time-consuming, and anxiety-provoking parents. We assessed long-term safety E-OIT...
