Putting Together Diagnosis and Putting Together Management Boyce JA, Assa'ad A, Burks AW, Jones SM, Sampson HA, Wood RA et al. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergy in the United States: report of the NIAIDsponsored expert panel. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2010; 126(6 Suppl):S1-58.
Major Points for Successful Diagnosis Pathophysiology Epidemiology Careful history Understanding utility of tests
Step 1: Pathophysiology Adverse reactions (not hypersensitivity) Bacterial food poisoning Scombroid fish poisoning Non-Allergic Lactase deficiency Galactosemia Allergy (Immune-mediated) IgE-Mediated IgE? Non-IgE mediated Anaphylaxis Expect Urticaria Positive Skin Test Atopic Dermatitis Eosinophilic gastroenteritis Isolated Accept gastrointestinal Negative reactions Skin Test Skin rashes
Step 2: Epidemiology Of foods Common in Adults -peanut -tree nuts -seafood -(fruits/vegetables) Of disorders Common in Children -egg -peanut -milk -tree nuts -soy -seafood -wheat Not usually associated with food -chronic asthma Often associated with food -chronic allergic rhinitis -anaphylaxis -chronic urticaria -urticaria (acute) -atopic dermatitis (~35%) -syndromes of gastrointestinal allergy
Step 3: Careful History Symptoms Food(s) ingested Frequency of ingestion (ever tolerated?) Timing of symptoms Co-ingestion of ASA, alcohol Association with exercise Diet records Labels
Step 4: Incorporation of Tests IgE-mediated acute symptoms Tests positive eliminate Tests negative reintroduce (possibly as oral challenge) IgE-Mediated chronic symptoms (Atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic gastroenteropathies) Screening tests by history and a priori, elimination diet, if resolved do oral challenges Non-IgE (enterocolitis, enteropathies) Elimination diet and oral challenges
Probability of a reaction (%) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Food-Specific IgE Antibody Concentrations Correlate with Risk of Clinical Reactivity Food-specific IgE Antibody Concentration Negative test does not guarantee no reaction! Curve varies by: Food Disease Age Other ~95% Predictive Values (CAP-System): Egg-7 kiu/l Milk-15 kiu/l Peanut-14 kiu/l
Food Diagnostic Decision Points (Food-specific IgE in ku/l) Mean age 5 years ~50% react Mean age 5 yrs ~95% react Age <2 yrs ~95% react Egg 2 > 7 > 2 Milk 2 > 15 > 5 Peanut 2-5 > 14 -- Sicherer & Sampson JACI Primer 2006 (based mostly on US studies)

Prior Probability and Likelihood Ratios LR(+)=sens/(1-spec) Must estimate pretest probability (history, prior tests) Use simple, additional tests with (hopefully) strong predictive accuracy Decide upon further testing that may be definitive but more costly/risky/invasive

Avoidance advice Management Home, restaurants, school, vacation, cross-contact, label reading, interpersonal, anxiety, nutritional assessment, agerelated issues. Treatment advice When and how to use self-injectable epinephrine, medical identification, dosing, written materials, age-related issues
Written Action Plan and Medical Jewelry Resource: www.foodallergy.org/actionplan.pdf Consider cetirizine
Treatment: Dietary Elimination Cross contact Restaurants/Hidden ingredients Labeling laws/advisory labeling Law covers milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, nuts, fish, shellfish Advisory labeling is voluntary (may contain)
Pediatrics. 2012;130(1):e25-32 Followed for ~ 3 years Register all reactions real time
Half of reactions: food not from the parent Lesson- educate all caregivers and watch siblings
Purposeful Exposures in 11% Reasoning- Uncertain (suspect misdiagnosis, small amount) Lesson- Education and anticipatory guidance
Severity of Reactions 11% were severe Lesson: Emphasize avoidance of ingestion
Under-treatment with Epinephrine Overall, 30% of severe reactions were treated with epinephrine Severe=lower respiratory, cardiovascular, or combination of skin/oral/upper respiratory and GI. Among 65 reactions when not given but caregiver admitted should have - reaction not recognized (48%), medicine not on hand (23%), afraid (12%), waiting to worsen (6%). Lesson: emphasize safety of epinephrine, indications and technique of administration
