Abstract

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening reaction characterized by the acute onset of symptoms involving different organ systems and requiring immediate medical intervention. The incidence of fatal food anaphylaxis is 0.03 to 0.3 million/people/year. Most fatal food-induced anaphylaxis occurs in the second and third decades of life. The identified risk factors include the delayed use of epinephrine, the presence of asthma, the use of recreational drugs (alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, etc.), and an upright position. In the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada, the reported leading causal foods are peanuts and tree nuts. In Italy, milk seems to be the most common cause of fatal anaphylaxis in children < 18 years. Fatal food anaphylaxis in Italian children and adolescents almost always occurs outside and is characterized by cardiorespiratory arrest; auto-injectable adrenaline intramuscular was available in few cases. Mortality from food anaphylaxis, especially in children, is a very rare event with stable incidence, but its risk deeply impacts the quality of life of patients with food allergy and their families. Prevention of fatal food anaphylaxis must involve patients and their families, as well as the general public, public authorities, and patients' associations., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Background and Aim: Asthma camp is a summer camp involving children with asthma. It is demonstrated that the experience of asthma camp is related to an overall improvement in clinical outcome related to asthma and also in pMDI technique. Based on this observation, we made up a 3-days intensive asthma summer camp training the children every day using a standard protocol that included step-by-step instructions for the correct use of pMDI and spacer with a mouthpiece. The aim of this first preliminary prospective study was to evaluate the impact that a structured short-term educational asthma camp could have on performance in the use of pMDI and spacer by the children involved., Methods: Ten children with asthma attended a 3-days educational camp program. A pediatric allergologist made assessments of the inhalation technique for each child at the beginning and the end of the 3-days asthma summer camp., Results: 7 patients were evaluated. The median age was 129 months (range 92-153 months). The median value of the modified MDI use score (mMus) was 8 at the beginning of the asthma summer and 10 at the end of the asthma summer camp was 10. The overall improvement in inhalation technique was +25%., Conclusions: This is the first preliminary prospective study demonstrating that a 3-days intensive asthma summer camp is related to an overall improvement in pMDI technique in children affected by asthma. It represents another evidence that asthma summer camp is a fundamental instrument to improve asthma education and management in childhood asthma.

Abstract

Allergic diseases have different frequencies. In particular, allergic rhinitis and asthma have high frequencies of about 20% and 10%, respectively. Other allergic diseases have lower frequencies; for example, food allergy has a frequency of 1%-4%. There are also rare allergic diseases, with a prevalence of 5 cases per 10 000 people in the general population, and they are included in Orphanet. However, other extremely rare allergic diseases still need to be properly known in order to be possibly recognized as rare diseases and cataloged in Orphanet., (© 2020 European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

Abstract

A 14 year old male was diagnosed with asthma but didn't improve with appropriate inhalation therapy. Rigid bronchoscopy revealed a food fragment, almost completely occluding the lower-left bronchus lumen. Based on the reported history, it had been likely there for several years., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests., (© Alessandro Bodini et al.)

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has surprised the entire population. The world has had to face an unprecedented pandemic. Only, Spanish flu had similar disastrous consequences. As a result, drastic measures (lockdown) have been adopted worldwide. Healthcare service has been overwhelmed by the extraordinary influx of patients, often requiring high intensity of care. Mortality has been associated with severe comorbidities, including chronic diseases. Patients with frailty were, therefore, the victim of the SARS-COV-2 infection. Allergy and asthma are the most prevalent chronic disorders in children and adolescents, so they need careful attention and, if necessary, an adaptation of their regular treatment plans. Fortunately, at present, young people are less suffering from COVID-19, both as incidence and severity. However, any age, including infancy, could be affected by the pandemic.Based on this background, the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology has felt it necessary to provide a Consensus Statement. This expert panel consensus document offers a rationale to help guide decision-making in the management of children and adolescents with allergic or immunologic diseases.
