Description:
In recent decades, food allergy has become an increasing concern for families, clinicians, and policymakers. Food allergy is a potentially life-threatening health condition, and patients may be burdened due to the need for avoidance in addition to concern for an accidental exposure, leading to reduced quality of life for patients and their families. The presence of food allergies is associated with increased likelihood of concomitant asthma, eczema, eosinophilic esophagitis, and exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Racial and ethnic disparities are prevalent among patients with allergic diseases, and data suggest that the burden of child food allergy may be greater among non-White, non-Hispanic populations.
This Community Practice Connection™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from a symposium presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting, held in February 2023. This unique and engaging multimedia activity is ideal for the community-based clinician. It focuses on the practical aspects of food allergy management and provides an overview of emerging treatment approaches. The program is designed for those who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.
