Abstract

The document titled "An Algorithm for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), 2024 Update" provides updated information on the diagnosis and management of FPIES, a non-IgE mediated food hypersensitivity with delayed gastrointestinal symptoms. The algorithm outlines the incidence, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of FPIES, including acute, chronic, atypical, and adult-onset phenotypes. It also discusses triggers, differential diagnosis, and treatment options based on severity and patient age, emphasizing the importance of avoiding trigger foods and seeking medical attention when necessary. The document highlights the need for a high index of suspicion to minimize misdiagnosis and provides guidance on oral food challenges and long-term management strategies.
