Mashup Score: 0The epidemiology of food allergy in adults - 2 year(s) ago
The prevalence and awareness of food allergy (FA) among US adults is arguably at a historical high, both with respect to primary immunoglobulin E–mediated food hypersensitivity and other food-triggered conditions that operate through a variety of immunologic mechanisms (eg, pollen-FA syndrome, alpha-gal syndrome, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis). Worryingly,…

Mashup Score: 0Skin prick testing technique - 2 year(s) ago
Skin prick testing for the evaluation of allergic disease has greatly evolved from Dr Charles Blackley’s original technique of using a bandage to occlude pollen grains next to the abraded epidermis.1 We now have the widespread use of disposable skin prick devices coated with a liquid allergen or applied through drops of liquid allergen into the epidermis to observe for a wheal and flare…

Food-protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) remains underrecognized owing to its broad differential diagnosis and lack of confirmatory diagnostic tests. Although awareness of pediatric FPIES is slowly increasing in the medical community, awareness of adult FPIES lags, despite 0.22% of US adults reporting FPIES symptoms.1 The differences in presentation and food triggers contribute to the…
