Food Allergy (FA) • CDC estimates 8% of children and 4% of adults in US have a FA diagnosis. • CDC estimates 50% increase in pediatric FA 1997 -2011. • Gupta et al in 2012 reports economic burden of FA is $25 billion USD. • FA results in 300, 000 ambulatory care visits a year, and 200, 000 ED visits per year (half of ED visits are diagnosed as food allergen induced anaphylaxis). • FA is the leading cause of anaphylaxis outside of the hospital setting. • Co-diagnosis of asthma is a risk factor fatal food allergy.

Food Allergy (FA) Diagnosis • NIAID describes food allergy as “an adverse health effect

Food Allergy (FA) Diagnosis • NIAID describes food allergy as “an adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a given food. ” • Ninety percent of immediate hypersensitivity to foods in US due to milk, soy, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nut, fish, and shellfish. • Self reporting of food allergies by patients consistently is higher than true immediate hypersensitivity as documented by Oral Food Challenge (OFC). • Food allergy more common in children, and high cooccurrence of other atopic conditions. • Children with moderate to severe persistent atopic dermatitis at 35% increased risk to develop immediate hypersensitivity.

Fatal Food Allergy • AAAAI Statistics Page: 38. 7% of FA children have a

Fatal Food Allergy • AAAAI Statistics Page: 38. 7% of FA children have a history of severe reaction. • Xu et al in 2014 reported on 92 cases of fatal anaphylaxis from the Ontario, Canada Coroner’s office. • Forty (43%) due to food allergens. • Sixteen (17%) due to peanut. • RF for FA fatalities: asthma, peanut allergy, teenagers, delayed epinephrine administration. • Umasunthar et al reported on 10 studies in 2013 in a metaanalysis concerning reported on 240 cases of fatal food allergy at 1. 81 per million person years, assuming a FA prevalence of 3. 9%. • Incidence of fatal FA less than that of fatal accidents in Europe.

FA: Risk Factors • Family History • 7 fold increase in risk of Peanut

FA: Risk Factors • Family History • 7 fold increase in risk of Peanut allergy if primary relative is peanut allergic • Sex • M: F for peanut allergy in childhood 5: 1. • Ratio changes to 1: 1 with adulthood. • Ethnicity • Lieu et al documents risk of FA in non hispanic blacks increased over whites OR 3. 06 (95% CI 2. 1 -4. 3). NHANES 200506. • Genes • • STAT 6 IL 10 CD 14 TSLP

Food Allergy Diagnosis • History of Ingestion? • • Time to symptoms Foods ingested

Food Allergy Diagnosis • History of Ingestion? • • Time to symptoms Foods ingested Means of preparation Location where food consumed • Symptoms? • • • Urticaria Angioedema Nausea, Vomiting Stridor Change in sensorium • Resolved/Recurring? • Time to resolution • Factors involved in resolution • Has patient returned to eating the food? • Confounders? • • • NSAIDS, Antibiotics Venom Exercise Latex Sexual activity

Theories on increase of FA Diagnoses • Hygiene Hypothesis • Lack of early infectious

Theories on increase of FA Diagnoses • Hygiene Hypothesis • Lack of early infectious exposure leads to increased allergic sensitization • C-sections involved? • Early Probiotic administration may protect against eczema onset, but not allergic sensitization. • Dietary guidelines • Former AAP guidelines concerning families at risk (atopic history) was to delay introduction of typical allergenic foods, until recently. • No major role for dietary restrictions in pregnancy or lactation that would affect development of FA.

Insights into FA Inception • Bartnikas et al in 2013 epicutaneously sensitized BALB/c mice

Insights into FA Inception • Bartnikas et al in 2013 epicutaneously sensitized BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA) or orally dosed them with OVAcholeratoxin. • On oral challenge with OVA the epicutaneously sensitized mice had anaphylaxis, increased serum IL-4, and an expanded mast cell population in jejunum compared to orally dosed ova-CT mice that tolerated oral challenge. • Hough et al in 2013 determined that household peanut consumption was the most important variable in detecting peanut protein in the house dust of an infant’s crib and play area. • Peanut protein in house dust deemed biologically active as it stimulated basophils of peanut allergic patients in vitro.

Insights into FA Inception • Noti et al in 2014 sensitized mice via atopic

Insights into FA Inception • Noti et al in 2014 sensitized mice via atopic dermatitis skin lesions to OVA and peanut allergen followed by intragastric allergen challenge, with immunologic changes measured thereafter. • Sensitization via this method was associated with expansion of TSLP-elicited basophils in the skin that promote allergen specific Th 2 cytokine responses, increased allergen specific serum Ig. E levels, and mast cell accumulation in the intestine, promoting the development of food allergy. • Basophil depletion or disruption of TSLP response decreased susceptibility of food allergic response. • Cell transfer of TSLP-elicited basophils into intact skin promoted disease!

Methods of FA Screening • Skin prick testing • Inexpensive • Outpatient setting •

Methods of FA Screening • Skin prick testing • Inexpensive • Outpatient setting • Immediate results (1520 minutes) • May use extract or “prick to prick” method with fresh allergen. • Intradermal testing to food allergens prone to false positivity and anaphylaxis.

Skin Prick Testing (SPT) for FA • Skin prick testing for FA has a

Skin Prick Testing (SPT) for FA • Skin prick testing for FA has a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 74% (Sampson H et al JACI 1984). • Judicious and limited skin prick testing should be done within the context of a given anaphylactic or allergic event. • Proves sensitization, not clinical allergy. • Based on wheal diameter of positive prick tests, threshold values to determine if OFC’s are necessary have been set: • • Milk 8 mm Egg 7 mm Peanut 8 mm Sesame 8 mm

Serology (s. Ig. E) Testing for FA • Fluoroscence-labeled antibody assays to detect the

Serology (s. Ig. E) Testing for FA • Fluoroscence-labeled antibody assays to detect the presence of circulating Ig. E to a suspected food allergen. • Also only proves sensitizations, not clinical allergy. • RAST, Immunocap, Immulite 2000, etc. • Non specific testing to multiple allergens should be avoided. • Can be useful if history is suggestive of anaphylaxis and spt is negative or if patient cannot do without antihistamine, severe skin disease, dermatographism, etc. • Published cutoff values used to avoid OFC: • • Egg 7 k. UA/L Peanut 14 k. UA/L Milk 15 k. UA/L Sesame 7 k. UA/L

Limitations • Skin Prick Test • PPV based on population and food • NPV

Limitations • Skin Prick Test • PPV based on population and food • NPV relatively high but negative result does not rule out allergy • Food allergy extract not standardized • Wheal size to establish OFC reactivity not determined for most allergens • Cannot skin test patients with active dermatitis • s. Ig. E Test • Often leads to unnecessary elimination diet • Total Ig. E level and nonspecific cross reactive binding • Fleischer et al in 2011 shows large majority of pediatric patients successfully reintroduced foods avoided based on s. Ig. E values only.

FA Diagnosis: Food Challenge • Gold standard of FA diagnosis is Double Blind Placebo

FA Diagnosis: Food Challenge • Gold standard of FA diagnosis is Double Blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC). • Cumbersome, lengthy, and usually only performed in academic centers. • OFC simple and easier to administer in outpatient setting. • Lieberman et al in 2011 evaluated 701 OFC’s for 521 patients. • 18. 8% elicited reaction, 1. 7% required epinephrine. • OFC’s should start with 0. 1% - 1 % of total challenge food. • OFC’s goal challenge dose should be 8 -10 gm dry food, 16 -20 gm meat or fish, 100 ml wet food; dosing interval should be every 15 minutes.

CRD Advances in Peanut Allergy • Ara h 1, 2, 3 – seed storage

CRD Advances in Peanut Allergy • Ara h 1, 2, 3 – seed storage proteins and HEAT STABLE. • Ara h 4 – isoform of Ara h 3. • Ara h 6 – nearly homologous to Ara h 2. • Ara h 5 – profilin (plant based pan-allergen), HEAT LABILE. • Ara h 8 Bet v 1 homologue and HEAT LABILE. • Ara h 9 – Lipid Transfer Protein, HEAT STABLE. • Clincal Trends in Peanut CRD: • Ara h 2 and 6 sensitization most highly associated with immediate hypersensitivity. • The higher the Ara h 2 sensitization, the more likely a patient will have immediate hypersensitivity. • Sensitization to more than one seed storage proteins more likely to result in severe anaphylaxis. • Peanut component sensitization may vary by geography: • • • Sweden (increased Ara h 8 +’s) USA (increased Ara h 1 -3 +’s) Spain (increased Ara h 9 +s)

CRD Advances in Peanut Allergy • Johannsen et al in 2011 in Clin Exp

CRD Advances in Peanut Allergy • Johannsen et al in 2011 in Clin Exp Allergy found that Peanut SPT < 7 mm and s. Ig. E < 2 k. Ua/L was associated with 95% OFC tolerance. • Nicolaou et al in 2010 showed that in a birth cohort of 933 children 11. 8% were sensitized to peanut at 8 years of age. OFC’s were performed on children with unconvincing reactions and s. Ig. E < 15 k. Ua/L and spt < 8 mm, finding a prevalence of immediate HS of 22. 4% among sensitized patients. • Nicolaou et al in 2010 also found that peanut sensitized children that were tolerant often were concomitantly sensitized to grass pollen and birch pollen. • Dang et al in 2012 found in 200 Australian children that peanut skin prick test followed by Ara h 2 measurement limited the need for OFC when compared to a combination of other tests.

Ara h 8 = Bet v 1 homologue • Extensive Ig. E cross-sensitization exists

Ara h 8 = Bet v 1 homologue • Extensive Ig. E cross-sensitization exists between peanut allergens and botanical allergens such as birch, alder, and grass allergens. • Asarnoj et al in 2010 described a group of peanut sensitized children that were sensitized to Ara h 8 only on Peanut CRD. Seventeen percent of these patients described mild symptoms only with peanut ingestion. • Asarnoj et al in 2012 examined 144 children with lone Ara h 8 sensitization: • 82 eating peanuts regularly at time of recruitment. • 62 underwent OFC to peanut • 1 experienced anaphylaxis (DEVELOPED ARA H 6 SENSITIZATION IN INTERIM FROM RECRUITMENT TO CHALLENGE).

LEAP: Learning Early About Peanut Allergy • Du Toit et al reported this year

LEAP: Learning Early About Peanut Allergy • Du Toit et al reported this year in the NEJM a randomized trial for infants at risk for the development of peanut allergy. • 640 infants (4 -11 months) with egg allergy and eczema were skin tested for peanut. Skin test wheal of 1 -4 mm was considered positive. • Skin test results stratified patients into skin test negative and skin test positive groups. • These groups were then randomly assigned into a consumption cohort or an avoidance cohort. Both groups followed regularly with visits, skin testing, s. Ig. E to peanut, Ig. G 4 to peanut, up to 60 months. • Open food challenge or DBPCFC at end of 60 months assessed rates of peanut allergy development.

Response to LEAP Study • Consensus Communication on Early Peanut Introduction and the Prevention

Response to LEAP Study • Consensus Communication on Early Peanut Introduction and the Prevention of Peanut Allergy in High Risk Infants. Pediatrics. August 2015: 136; 600. • Doctors “should recommend” peanut introduction in high risk infants in countries where peanut allergy is prevalent. • Infants with eczema and egg allergy under 6 months of age should have allergy referral to determine peanut status and whether they should be challenged using LEAP Protocol. • More formal NIAID/EAACI food introduction guidelines to follow. • Editorial Response JACI: In Practice. 2015: 3(5); 649 -51. • Protocol suggested in Consensus non-specific and open ended. • Leaves up to primary care doctors to define “high risk. ” • Did not discuss implications of adherence with target dose. • Did not address implications of widespread testing and financial burden of this practice.
