Background
Among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), atopic disease has been proposed as a common comorbidity increasing the IBS symptom burden. We therefore assessed the prevalence of self‐reported atopy among patients with IBS as compared to non‐IBS controls, and whether atopy and higher serum IgE levels were associated with increased IBS symptom severity.

AimAmong Swedish children of 0–12 years old, we investigated various food allergy‐related exposures associated with health‐related quality of life using a food allergy‐specific questionnaire among children allergic to the staple foods cow's milk, hen's egg and/or wheat, and contextualised worse food allergy‐associated health‐related quality of life using a generic questionnaire versus controls.

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate if total, direct, indirect, and intangible costs differ between a cohort of adults with well‐characterized allergy to staple foods (‘cases’) and controls.
MethodsSwedish adults with objectively diagnosed food allergy to cow′s milk, hen′s egg, and/or wheat were recruited at an outpatient allergy clinic. Controls age‐ and sex‐matched to cases were...
Patients with IgE antibodies against the carbohydrate epitope galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal) have reported severe allergic reactions after consumption of red meat. Investigations have revealed associations between IgE to α‐Gal and tick bites. We provide the first direct evidence that α‐Gal is present within ticks thus potentially explaining the relationship between tick exposure and sensitization...
