Updating the CoFAR Grading Scale for Systemic Allergic Reactions in Food Allergy.
...Published in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology
Immunotherapy is promising as an efficacious treatment for food allergy. Other food allergy treatments are also under development. However, adverse allergic events during treatment, as well as during oral food challenges, are common and reporting is not standardized. A more nuanced grading scale is needed to create a comprehensive and universal sys...
Hypertensive Anaphylaxis After Moderna COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report
Published in Cureus
Hypotension after exposure to an allergen is a well-known indicator of an anaphylactic reaction. However, hypertensive anaphylaxis often goes unrecognized. Increased blood pressure can present as an anaphylactic reaction, which is called hypertensive anaphylaxis. A 48-year-old woman complained of a tickle sensation in the throat and dyspnea 30 minu...

Food anaphylaxis is commonly elicited by unintentional ingestion of foods containing the allergen above the tolerance threshold level of the individual. While labeling the 14 main allergens used as ingredients in food products is mandatory in the EU, there is no legal definition of declaring potential contaminants. Precautionary allergen labeling s...

Published in Acta clinica Belgica
Vaccination against COVID-19 constitutes a huge hope and a major challenge. For the first time in modern history, a global vaccination campaign has started worldwide in a short period of time and with products that were recently developed. Consequently, legitimate concerns regarding the safety and tolerability of COVID-19 vaccines arise.In line wit...

Intradermal Testing With COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Predicts Tolerance
...Published in Frontiers in Allergy
Background The newly developed mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines can provoke anaphylaxis, possibly induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) contained in the vaccine. The management of persons with a history of PEG allergy or with a suspected allergic reaction after the first dose remains to be defined. Methods In this real-life study, we defined two cohorts...

Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics
Background Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening event, but it is frequently undertreated in pediatric patients with food allergies. Previous studies showed that auto-injectable adrenaline (AAI) is underused by patients and parents. This is especially troubling since fatal anaphylaxis has been associated with delayed adrenaline administration. Objectiv...
