Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis: Latest updates in the diagnosis and management of food allergy
Food allergy can result in considerable morbidity, impact negatively on quality of life, and prove costly in terms of medical care. It is mostly IgE-mediated and a chronic disease affecting up to 4% of the European population.
This eLearning product delves into the epidemiology and economics; the needs, perspectives and best practices for food allergic patients; allergens and their detection; the role of the skin barrier and skin manifestations of food allergy; latest updates in diagnosis and management; and the immune processes in the disease.
Get eLearning! Gain a deeper knowledge of food allergy and anaphylaxis by completing one or more of EAACI’s courses on this topic.
Educational Outcome
To learn about latest updates in the diagnosis and management of food allergy. In particular, the module spans:
- Interpretation of food allergen bioanalytical laboratory results: note of caution, what to expect and guidance.
- The nasal exposure test as a diagnostic tool to replace oral food challenges.
- A study on the distinction between peanut allergy and tolerance via in vitro characterization of human antibodies.
- The main characteristics, features and management of the non-IgE-mediated food allergies.
