PHILADELPHIA – Food is an integral part of life; but, for some, it can be harmful. Allergic inflammation caused by inappropriate immune responses to some types of food has become a major public health issue.

Systemic reactions from allergy skin testing: 0.4% for skin prick testing, 3.2% for intradermal Skin testing is the diagnostic cornerstone for allergies and is considered extremely safe, carrying only a small risk of systemic reactions. A prospective study included 1,500 patients at the University of South Florida and aimed to determine the 12-month incidence of systemic reactions (SRs) to skin prick testing (SPT) and intradermal skin testing (ST). Epinephrine (0.2 mL of a 1:1,000 dilution) was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid as soon as any remote signs or symptoms occurred.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
Schnitzler's syndrome is characterized by recurrent urticarial rash and monoclonal gammopathy, associated with clinical and biological signs of inflammation and a long-term risk of AA amyloidosis and overt lymphoproliferation.

A daily dose of Nestlé’s Bifidobacterium lactis NCC2818 probiotic strain may help manage allergic responses during pollen season, says a new study from the Nestlé Research Center.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Very interesting paper. I think that whatever nutritional natural complement is always better than any new pill to take.

Allergic phenomena share common pathways with the immune response against helminth parasites. The definitions regarding allergens and their related concepts have their roots in the area of allergy research. The experience with the fish parasite Anisakis simplex-associated allergic features still nurtures an open debate on the necessity of larvae being alive to induce allergic reactions such as urticaria or anaphylaxis. Conceptual definitions of allergen, major allergen, as well as putatively crossreacting antibodies, as are used in food allergy, depend on the clinical relevance of specific IgE and deserve careful interpretation in the various forms of A. simplex-associated allergic features. Conversely, an evolutionary based interpretation of the presence of specific IgE depends on the viability of A. simplex.
