A handbook on allergic diseases
Allergies and allergic diseases can indeed affect multiple organs and systems in the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms and manifestations. By compiling insights from experts in different specialties, this book aims to support the medical literature and contribute to the collective knowledge on allergies. Although the causes and pathogenesis of allergic diseases in general are as described, this book is designed to be a guiding project by considering allergic diseases one by one and their causes, pathogenesis differences, and current treatments. A Handbook on Allergic Diseases serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students interested in allergies and allergic diseases, offering a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and future directions in this important area of medicine.

The Natural History and Risk Factors for the Development of Food Allergies in Children and Adults
Purpose of ReviewThis narrative review explores food allergy prevalence and natural history stratified by life stages, especially in context of evolving knowledge over the last few decades.Recent FindingsThe prevalence of food allergy remains highest in early childhood with common food triggers being cow’s milk, soy, hen’s egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and shellfish. This correlates with certain risk factors especially pertinent in the postnatal period which appear to predispose an individual to developing a food allergy. Some allergies (such as milk and egg) were previously thought to be easily outgrown in early life; however, recent studies suggest increasing rates of persistence of these allergies into young adulthood; the reason behind this is unknown. Despite this, there is also evidence demonstrating that food allergies can be outgrown in adolescents and adults.SummaryAn understanding of the paradigm shifts in the natural history of food allergy allows clinicians to provide updated, age-appropriate, and tailored advice for patients on the management and prognosis of food allergy.

2015 update of the evidence base: World Allergy Organization anaphylaxis guidelines
The World Allergy Organization (WAO) Guidelines for the assessment and management of anaphylaxis provide a unique global perspective on this increasingly common, potentially life-threatening disease. Recommendations made in the original WAO Anaphylaxis Guidelines remain clinically valid and relevant, and are a widely accessed and frequently cited resource. In this 2015 update of the evidence supporting recommendations in the Guidelines, new information based on anaphylaxis publications from January 2014 through mid- 2015 is summarized. Advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, and management in healthcare and community settings are highlighted. Additionally, new information about patient factors that increase the risk of severe and/or fatal anaphylaxis and patient co-factors that amplify anaphylactic episodes is presented and new information about anaphylaxis triggers and confirmation of triggers to facilitate specific trigger avoidance and immunomodulation is reviewed. The update includes tables summarizing important advances in anaphylaxis research.

Belgian Case Series Identifies Non-Cow Mammalian Milk Allergy as a Rare, Severe, Selective, and Late-Onset Condition
Background: Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in children, typically resolving by adolescence. In contrast, the clinical spectrum of allergies to non-cow mammalian milk and their patterns of IgE cross-reactivity are less well documented. Nutritional differences between various mammalian milks may also impact dietary management in milk-allergic patients. Objectives: To characterize clinical features, onset age, and IgE cross-reactivity patterns of non-cow mammalian milk allergies in adult patients seen at a tertiary allergy center, and to compare these findings with published cases. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients included in the “Extended Laboratory Investigation for Rare Causes of Anaphylaxis study” with mammalian milk allergy was performed using clinical history, skin testing, and serum-specific IgE measurements. Cross-reactivity patterns were assessed in selected cases using immunoblotting, specific IgE inhibition, and basophil activation testing, and compared with published reports of non-cow mammalian milk allergy. Results: In our case series of 22 patients with mammalian milk allergy and 10 healthy control subjects, 3 patients were identified with isolated adult-onset non-cow mammalian milk allergy (n = 1 buffalo milk; n = 2 mare milk), confirmed via immunoblotting and basophil activation testing. Streptavidin-based specific IgE measurement for buffalo cheese was positive in the buffalo milk allergic patient. The literature review identified 82 cases of non-cow mammalian milk allergy. These cases typically showed late onset (mean age 8.6 years; range 1–70 years), severe reactions (CoFAR (Consortium for Food Allergy Research) grade 3 or 4 in 66%, and one fatality), and selective sensitization (affecting sheep and/or goat, camel, mare, buffalo, donkey, or combinations thereof in 56, 10, 5, 5, 4, and 2 cases, respectively). Conclusions: Non-cow mammalian milk allergies are rare but generally present later in life with selective IgE cross-reactivity, differing from the broader cross-reactivity observed in CMA. This selectivity may allow for safe dietary alternatives. These findings underscore the need for improved diagnostics and personalized dietary management in this patient population.
