Peanut oral immunotherapy is not ready for clinical use.
Hippocrates wrote that ‘‘The physician must . . . have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm’’ (Hippocratic Corpus, Epidemics, Bk I, Sect 5). As physicians, we are continually challenged with the task of weighing the possible risks and benefits of treatment against those of taking no action. Similarly, we pursue clinical investigation when exist...
متن کاملOral Peanut Challenge Identifies an Allergy but the Peanut Allergen Threshold Sensitivity Is Not Reproducible
BACKGROUND Double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge, DBPCFC, the gold standard for diagnosing food allergy, is time-consuming and potentially dangerous. A basophil allergen threshold sensitivity test, CD-sens, has shown promising results as a diagnostic tool in food allergy. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the reproducibility of oral peanut challenge and compare the outcome to CD-sens in peanut-...
متن کاملWhat Is the Upper Limit on the Lightest Supersymmetric
In this talk the question of what is the upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs mass, mh is addressed. This question is relevant since experimental lower bounds on mh might implement, in the near future, exclusion of supersymmetry. By imposing (perturbative) unification of the gauge couplings at some high scale > ∼ 10 GeV, we have found that for a top-quark mass Mt = 175 GeV, and depe...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for peanut allergy.
Peanut allergy is one of the commonest food hypersensitivities causing fatal or near-fatal reactions. There is, currently, no preventive treatment and the incidence of severe allergic reactions during peanut desensitisation has limited its clinical use. Anti-immunoglobulin E therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing peanut-induced reactions but it does not result in long-term toleran...
متن کاملPeanut immunotherapy
Peanut allergy is common and can be a cause of severe, life-threatening reactions. It is rarely outgrown like other food allergies, such as egg and milk. Peanut allergy has a significant effect on the quality of life of sufferers and their families, due to dietary and social restrictions, but mainly stemming from fear of accidental peanut ingestion. The current management consists of strict avo...
