Dear Readers! Take a look at the September Issue: π onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/β¦

Food allergens don't just stay in the kitchen. π π₯
This letter explored the presence of #walnut, #cashew, and #peanut #proteins in household dust and their association with #sensitization in young children with #AtopicDermatitis.

Not every perioperative reaction is benign.
This study highlights that perioperative hypersensitivity reactions in children, although uncommon, may be severe and even life-threatening.
The findings reinforce the importance of #allergy investigation after suspected reactions and demonstrate how #PreventiveMeasures can successfully reduce specific risks, such as #latex-related reactions.

From asthma to food allergy, targeted therapies are changing lives. π
Advances in #biologics and small molecules are enabling more personalized approaches to pediatric allergic diseases, improving disease control and expanding treatment options for children and families.
This comprehensive #review highlights where we are today and where the field is heading next.

A closer look at asthma exacerbations.
Distinct #epithelial and #antiviral airway signatures were identified in children with refractory #asthma during rhinovirus-associated exacerbations.

World Statistics Day ππ
Behind every medical breakthrough are data that help us understand diseases, improve care, and shape better outcomes for children.
Today, we celebrate the power of statistics in advancing pediatric allergy and immunology research.

Air pollution can worsen #rhinitis symptoms.
In this prospective study, higher exposure to PM2.5 was associated with greater symptom severity in children with chronic rhinitis.

Five years later, the food allergy signal remains.
Children born during the #COVID19 #lockdown continued to show low rates of food allergy at 5 years of age.
The authors suggest that higher #breastfeeding rates, reduced antibiotic exposure, and structured early #allergen introduction may have contributed to this protective effect.
Meanwhile, #aeroallergen sensitization increased as expected during childhood.

Bacterial Immunostimulants in Immunodeficient Patients π¦
A #systematicreview shows that bacterial #immunostimulants β especially #OM85 β can reduce acute #RespiratoryInfections in individuals with primary or secondary #immunodeficiencies. They appear wellβtolerated, with no evidence of #autoimmune activation, though #ImmuneImprovements (IgA/IgG) were inconsistent.
Overall, they offer a promising adjunct to reduce #infections, despite heterogeneity across studies.

World Food Day ππ
Food should nourish, connect, and empower every child.
Today, we recognize the challenges faced by children living with food allergies and the importance of safe, inclusive, and nutritious food environments for all.

πΉ Eleven-year trends in walnut-induced anaphylaxis in children in Japan: a multicenter retrospective study π 10.1111/pai.70243
πΉ Dibutyl phthalate induces atopic dermatitis via semaphorin-plexin signaling and IL-5: ECHO-COCOA study π 10.1111/pai.70224
These studies highlight the breadth and impact of current research in pediatric #allergy and #immunology, from #foodallergy and #anaphylaxis to environmental drivers of #atopicdisease.
Congratulations to all #awardees, and thank you for advancing the care of children worldwide. πβ¨

β Could a simple blood biomarker help identify different allergic airway disease phenotypes?
Researchers found that specific odd-chain fatty acids were altered in children with allergic #rhinitis and #asthma, suggesting the presence of a distinct #immunometabolic profile.
The work highlights the growing role of #metabolomics in pediatric allergy research.

Earlier allergen introduction is becoming more common. π₯
Compared with the pandemic-born #CORALcohort, infants in the #FLORALcohort were significantly more likely to have introduced:
π₯ Egg
π₯ Peanut
π Fish
π₯ Cow's milk
by 6 months of age.
These evolving feeding practices may have important implications for #immune tolerance and #allergy prevention.

Does childhood eczema increase the risk of ADHD? π§
In this longitudinal #birthcohort, researchers found no significant association between early, late-onset, or persistent #AtopicDermatitis and #ADHD by 10β12 years of age.
These findings suggest that the #timing and #persistence of childhood #eczema may not independently influence the risk of ADHD.

World Mental Health Day π§ π
Living with allergic diseases can affect more than physical health. Conditions such as atopic dermatitis, food allergy, asthma, and allergic #rhinitis may also impact emotional well-being, #sleep, school performance, and quality of life.
Today, we recognize the importance of caring for both mental and physical health, and of supporting children and families living with chronic allergic diseases.
Because every child deserves to breathe, sleep, play, learn, and thrive. π

Does eating a wider variety of foods in infancy influence eczema risk?
In this nationwide Korean cohort of more than 267,000 children, lower #dietary diversity during the first year of life was associated with a higher #risk of #AtopicDermatitis. Eating the #rainbow early: Food diversity in infancy and the risk of atopic dermatitis in 267,935 Korean children
