This Guideline, prepared by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Task Force on Allergen Immunotherapy for IgE-mediated Food Allergy, aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for active treatment of IgE-mediated food allergy with FA-AIT.
Food allergy encompasses a range of food hypersensitivities. Different clinical phenotypes for food allergy likely exist in much the same way as endotype discovery is now a major research theme in asthma.
Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, makes skin dry, red, and itchy. People with AD are more likely to get a food allergy than people without AD. But some food allergy tests are not always accurate in people with AD. Researchers want to study if people are truly allergic to milk and/or peanuts.
This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology guideline provides recommendations for diagnosing IgE-mediated food allergy and was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach.
ACARIZAX is indicated in adult patients (18-65 years) diagnosed by clinical history and a positive test of house dust mite sensitisation (skin prick test and/or specific IgE) with at least one of the following conditions: • persistent moderate to severe house dust mite allergic rhinitis despite use of symptom-relieving medication • house dust mite allergic asthma not well controlled by inhaled corticosteroids and associated with mild to severe house dust mite allergic rhinitis. Patients' asthma status should be carefully evaluated before the initiation of treatment (see section 4.3). ACARIZAX is indicated in adolescents (12-17 years) diagnosed by clinical history and a positive test of house dust mite sensitisation (skin prick test and/or specific IgE) with persistent moderate to severe house dust mite allergic rhinitis despite use of symptom-relieving medication.

This guideline advises on the management of patients with cow’s milk allergy. Cow’s milk allergy presents in the first year of life with estimated population prevalence between 2% and 3%.
This medicinal product is indicated for the diagnosis of allergic (IgE – mediated) diseases (type 1 in the classification of Coombs and Gell).
Objectives: To review the efficacy of anti-IgE therapy in allergic rhinitis (AR).
ITULAZAX is indicated in adult patients for the treatment of moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis induced by pollen from the birch homologous group 1 . ITULAZAX is indicated in patients with a clinical history of symptoms despite use of symptom-relieving medication and a positive test of sensitisation to a member of the birch homologous group (skin prick test and/or specific IgE). 1 Birch homologous group: Betula verrucosa (birch), Alnus glutinosa (alder), Carpinus betulus (hornbeam), Corylus avellana (hazel), Quercus alba (oak) and Fagus sylvatica (beech).
