Systemic allergic reactions are a relatively common clinical emergency. In their mildest form, they may just manifest as systemic cutaneous reactions with pruritis, allergy urticaria and angioedema. In more severe cases there are cardiorespiratory symptoms such as stridor, wheeze, difficulty in breathing or hypotension. Anaphylaxis has been defined as a ‘severe, life-threatening generalized or systemic hypersensitivity reaction’. The prevalence of systemic allergic reactions is unclear because of the lack of a clear, consistent definition and large prospective population studies. (more…)

At least a million Spanish suffer allergic reactions to food, some of them as common as milk, eggs, fruit or fish. Many of them are children who are constrained in their quality of life and opportunities to participate in activities as usual for other children and enjoy a family meal, eating at school, have a pizza or a bagel or even attend a children’s party. An accidental ingestion of a food to which you are allergic (which happens often due to lack of identification of many food allergy ingredients) can have serious consequences, from allergic urticaria to anaphylaxis symptoms.

Definitions of anaphylaxis vary considerably, impeding the comparison of different clinical studies. Different definitions of anaphylaxis have been developed as clinical descriptions of severe allergic reactions, different authors emphasizing different symptoms.
The author aimed to develop a simple clinical grading system and definition for anaphylaxis using clinical data. He retrospectively analyzed 1149 case records (median age 29 years) with systemic allergic reactions (30% venom allergy, 22% iatrogenic allergy, 18% food allergy) from an emergency department in Australia.

Treatment of allergic diseases in childhood presents unique challenges, as both the beneficial effects and the detrimental effects of intervention(s) may last for decades and even for a lifetime. Most allergic diseases are managed in a community setting by primary care physicians, rather than in a hospital setting by allergy specialists. Here, we describe outpatient treatment, which is focused on prevention and relief of morbidity from allergic diseases and on the identification of children at high risk (more…)

Anaphylactic reactions to Hymenoptera venom are relatively uncommon but can be life-threatening: venom immunotherapy is the treatment of choice. The primary allergen in honeybee venom is phospholipase A2 (Api m 1) and that of the vespid venoms (yellow jacket, hornet, wasp) is antigen 5 (Ves v 5). Another clinically important insect is the imported fire ant (also a member of the Hymenoptera family). Allergy to the imported fire ant is being reported increasingly often from the USA, Australia and South East Asia. (more…)

The most important aspect of managing food allergies in children and babies is to be sure that the developing child has each and every nutrient that is essential for its optimum growth and development. Deficiency in a critical nutrient in the early days can have enormous negative consequences that can, in some instances, last a lifetime. The words of a British group of practitioners eloquently express this most important aspect of infant feeding: (more…)
