Efficacy of over-the-counter immunostimulants in the prevention of paediatric recurrent acute respiratory tract infections. Criticisms and pitfalls of available metanalyses Summary Preschool children frequently suffer from acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI). Immunostimulants (ISs) are often administered to reduce their impact. This study aimed to establish the efficacy of ISs in the prevention of pediatric ARTI through the analysis of systematic reviews (SRs). We explored Medline database i

Oral desensitization in egg acute food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome

Objective: Strict avoidance of trigger food is the primary management of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). No published data are available on active induction of tolerance with oral desensitization (OD) in FPIES. Case Report: We carried out an OD in a 9 and a half years old boy with persistent acute egg FPIES. OD was performed with increasing doses of raw egg every week, starting with an initial dose of 0.2 ml. The boy presented mild and transient gastrointestinal adverse reactions when the 4 ml dose was reached. He could tolerate a whole raw egg in less than 14 months. Conclusions: Even though randomized controlled clinical trials on patients including various phenotypes of FPIES are needed, our experience is encouraging about the possible efficacy and safety of OD in this food allergy
