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.
Food allergy affects the patient’s quality of life (QoL) and leads to anxiety and depression. In addition to routine treatment, QoL evaluation should also be performed in patients with food allergies. The validated Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire – Adult Form (FAQLQ-AF) and Food Allergy Independent Measure – Adult Form (FAIM-AF) have been well accepted and available in many languages.
We aimed to overview clinical characteristics of FPIAP with the results of diagnostic tools like APT, SPT and fecal calprotectin levels and the factors associated with tolerance development.
Recent treatment for food allergies involves the intake of allergy-causing foods at doses lower than the threshold dose determined by the oral food challenge (OFC). For a more successful treatment, it is necessary to identify a biomarker to establish safer doses of allergens in foods consumed at home.
Few studies have examined the effect of atopic dermatitis (AD) on the resolution of food allergies in Asia, and the predictors of egg allergy resolution are not yet well defined.
