Background
Peanut allergy has a rising prevalence in high‐income countries, affecting 0.5%–1.4% of children. This study aimed to better understand peanut anaphylaxis in comparison to anaphylaxis to other food triggers in European children and adolescents.
Methods
Data was sourced from the European Anaphylaxis Registry via an online questionnaire, after in‐depth review of food‐induced anaphylaxis...
Background
The production of IgE molecules specific to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐gal) is known to induce delayed anaphylaxis against mammalian meat. Tick bites constitute the primary sensitization source, as ticks transfer alpha‐gal in their saliva to a host during a bite. The reported prevalence of alpha‐gal‐specific IgE (alpha‐gal‐sIgE) positivity varies between different...
Background
Antivenoms are mammalian immunoglobulins with the ability to neutralize snake venom components and to mitigate the progression of toxic effects. Immediate hypersensitivity to antivenoms often occurs during the first administration of these heterologous antibodies. A comparable clinical situation occurred after introduction of cetuximab, a chimeric mouse–human antibody, for cancer treatment...
BackgroundStructured educational programmes for patients at risk for anaphylaxis have not yet been established. Patients and caregivers often lack adequate skills in managing the disease.
MethodsTo investigate effects of structured patient education intervention on knowledge, emergency management skills and psychological parameters in patients with previous episodes of anaphylaxis and caregivers...
Anaphylaxis is the systemic and most severe presentation of type I allergy. A number of conditions were identified that modulate the onset of anaphylaxis such as co‐ or augmentation factors, which significantly lower the allergen dose necessary for triggering anaphylaxis. Next to physical exercise or alcohol consumption, co‐administration of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or concomitant...
