Incidence, predictors, and treatment outcomes of biphasicanaphylaxis in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital: A 5-year retrospective study

Biphasic anaphylaxis despite successful treatment has an incidence of 4-5% based on NIAID/FAAN criteria. Our study aimed to investigate the frequency and predictive factors associated with biphasic reactions within the emergency department (ED) at Siriraj Hospital.

Serum levels of specific IgE to cow’s milk and its components as predictors of anaphylaxis in Chinese childrenwith cow’s milk allergy

Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies in young children. As improved diagnostic tools, allergic tests are inconsistent and limited in predicting anaphylaxis.

Characterization of gut microbiome profile in childrenwith confirmed wheat allergy

Food allergies pose serious health risks, including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, increased morbidity, and reduced quality of life. Wheat allergy is a common concern in Asia. There is growing interest in understanding the potential association between dysregulation of the gut microbiome and the development of food allergies.

Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity incidence,clinical characteristics, and outcomesafter allergological evaluation: A multi-disciplinary protocol from tertiary hospital, Thailand

Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reaction (POH) is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction during an anesthesiologist monitored procedure. We report data of clinically-suspected POH (csPOH) patients undergoing an allergist-performed unified diagnostic workup algorithm for POH.
