Identifying the Risk Factors of Allergic Rhinitis Based on Zhihu Comment Data Using a Topic-Enhanced Word-Embedding Model: Mixed Method Study and Cluster Analysis.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic disease, and several risk factors predispose individuals to the condition in their daily lives, including exposure to allergens and inhalation irritants. Analyzing the potential risk factors that can trigger AR can provide reference material for individuals to use to reduce its occurrence in their daily lives. Nowadays, social media is a part of daily life, with an increasing number of people using at least 1 platform regularly. Social media enables users to share experiences among large groups of people who share the same interests and experience the same afflictions. Notably, these channels promote the ability to share health information. This study aims to construct an intelligent method (TopicS-ClusterREV) for identifying the risk factors of AR based on these social media comments. The main questions were as follows: How many comments contained AR risk factor information? How many categories can these risk factors be summarized into? How do these risk factors trigger AR? This study crawled all the data from May 2012 to May 2022 under the topic of allergic rhinitis on Zhihu, obtaining a total of 9628 posts and 33,747 comments. We improved the Skip-gram model to train topic-enhanced word vector representations (TopicS) and then vectorized annotated text items for training the risk factor classifier. Furthermore, cluster analysis enabled a closer look into the opinions expressed in the category, namely gaining insight into how risk factors trigger AR. Our classifier identified more comments containing risk factors than the other classification models, with an accuracy rate of 96.1% and a recall rate of 96.3%. In general, we clustered texts containing risk factors into 28 categories, with season, region, and mites being the most common risk factors. We gained insight into the risk factors expressed in each category; for example, seasonal changes and increased temperature differences between day and night can disrupt the body's immune system and lead to the development of allergies. Our approach can handle the amount of data and extract risk factors effectively. Moreover, the summary of risk factors can serve as a reference for individuals to reduce AR in their daily lives. The experimental data also provide a potential pathway that triggers AR. This finding can guide the development of management plans and interventions for AR.

Microbiome analyses in chronic rhinosinusitis.

In this edition of Rhinology we feature the work of Connell and colleagues from Australia on chronic rhinosinusitis that describes an interesting new pipeline to characterize the bacterial composition of microbiota. We are constantly exposed to a multitude of micro-organisms in the environment and our immune system has the important task discerning and fighting off potential threats. In most people the immune system is doing its job properly and prevents anything untoward from happening. On occasion, a microbe slips by the first (innate) level of defense and we might suffer from an infection. This then activates the second layer of (the adaptive) defense tasked to clear this infection. Sometimes the immune system gets its wrong and starts a full-out defense against something harmless, and an allergy is born. The task of the immune system of doing what is right is even more difficult than it might seem at first sight. In addition to these incidental potential threats, our mucosal surfaces are lined with commensal bacteria which contributes to the complexity of our environment. This collection of bacteria or microbiome has become a major focus of research, as the composition of this microbiome seems related to the health state of the individual. Originally the relationship between the gut microbiome and the development of asthma and allergy was the main focus. In recent years, the focus has been broadened to include the microbiome of the upper and lower airways. In addition to allergy, our field has also been given more and more attention to studying the microbiome in chronic rhinosinusitis.

Immune modulation by rural exposures and allergy protection.

Growing up on traditional farms protects children from the development of asthma and allergies. However, we have identified distinct asthma-protective factors, such as poultry exposure. This study aims to examine the biological effect of rural exposure in China. We recruited 67 rural children (7.4 ± 0.9 years) and 79 urban children (6.8 ± 0.6 years). Depending on the personal history of exposure to domestic poultry (DP), rural children were further divided into those with DP exposure (DP+ , n = 30) and those without (DP- , n = 37). Blood samples were collected to assess differential cell counts and expression of immune-related genes. Dust samples were collected from poultry stables inside rural households. Invivo activities of nasal administration of DP dust extracts were tested in an ovalbumin-induced asthma model. There was a stepwise increase in the percentage of eosinophils (%) from rural DP+ children (median = 1.65, IQR = [1.28, 3.75]) to rural DP- children (3.40, [1.70, 6.50]; DP+ vs. DP- , p = .087) and to the highest of their urban counterparts (4.00, [2.00, 7.25]; urban vs. DP+ , p = .017). Similarly, rural children exhibited reduced mRNA expression of immune markers, both at baseline and following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Whereas LPS stimulation induced increased secretion of Th1 and proinflammatory cytokines in rural DP+ children compared to rural DP- children and urban children. Bronchoalveolar lavage of mice with intranasal instillation of dust extracts from DP household showed a significant decrease in eosinophils as compared to those of control mice (p < .05). Furthermore, DP dust strongly inhibited gene expression of Th2 signature cytokines and induced IL-17 expression in the murine asthma model. Immune responses of rural children were dampened compared to urban children and those exposed to DP had further downregulated immune responsiveness. DP dust extracts ameliorated Th2-driven allergic airway inflammation in mice. Determining active protective components in the rural environment may provide directions for the development of primary prevention of asthma.

Food Allergy Development: Suggestive New Risk Factors Detected in a Large Data Base Study

Food Allergy Development: Suggestive New Risk Factors Detected in a Large Data Base Study

Directed acyclic graph for epidemiological studies in childhood food allergy: Construction, user's guide, and application.

Understanding modifiable prenatal and early life causal determinants of food allergy is important for the prevention of the disease. Randomized clinical trials studying environmental and dietary determinants of food allergy may not always be feasible. Identifying risk/protective factors for early-life food allergy often relies on observational studies, which may be affected by confounding bias. The directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a causal diagram useful to guide causal inference from observational epidemiological research. To date, research on food allergy has made little use of this promising method. We performed a literature review of existing evidence with a systematic search, synthesized 32 known risk/protective factors, and constructed a comprehensive DAG for early-life food allergy development. We present an easy-to-use online tool for researchers to re-construct, amend, and modify the DAG along with a user's guide to minimize confounding bias. We estimated that adjustment strategies in 57% of previous observational studies on modifiable factors of childhood food allergy could be improved if the researchers determined their adjustment sets by DAG. Future researchers who are interested in the causal inference of food allergy development in early life can apply the DAG to identify covariates that should and should not be controlled in observational studies.

P06 Outcomes from a New Combined Allergy and Dermatology Clinic- A Retrospective Review

Abstract Early introduction to known allergens such as peanuts can reduce subsequent development of allergies [1]. In 2019, an audit in our department of 35 babies under age 1 referred with eczema showed that 4 were concomitantly referred to allergy and 20 were referred to allergy after dermatology consultation. The majority had moderate/severe eczema and 31% had implemented dietary restrictions before the dermatology consultation. In 2021, a combined allergy and dermatology clinic was introduced to provide a holistic approach, particularly for young children. Patients are triaged from GP referrals or as follow-up from either team. We conducted a retrospective notes review to explore the benefits/outcomes. 57 patients were included with an average age of 4.75 years and 58% were below age 2. 58% had their dermatology plans changed. Before the clinic, 81% had dietary exclusions but only 46% had new allergies confirmed. 29% of the patients who underwent testing tested negative to all allergens, which allowed parents to reintroduce foods at an early age. This review shows that the combined clinic allowed young patients early access to allergy testing due to streamlined services, preventing unnecessary dietary exclusions. Additionally, patients with severe eczema without allergies benefit from early dermatology intervention. In fact, 44% of patients were suitable for discharge from dermatology directly from the combined clinic or at first follow-up appointment.

The prevalence of IgE positivity, environmental factors, and clinical implications associated with mite species in allergic patients in Taiwan.

Allergic diseases are a growing public health concern with increasing prevalence and severity. Allergens play significant roles in triggering immune responses and the development of allergic reactions. Investigate the presence and clinical significance of dust mites, storage mites, and predatory mite Cheyletus eruditus(Ce) in household environments. A survey of household dust was performed to determine mite occurrence and analyze influencing factors, an analysis of the correlation between mite species and allergic symptoms, and basophil activation triggered by mite allergens. Cross-reactivity between Ce and house dust mites was assessed. The high appearance rate of mite species in households of Taiwan was Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) and D. farinae(Df). Environmental factors such as pet keeping, vacuum cleaner usage, air conditioner usage, proximity to the kitchen, cleaning frequency, and protein concentration in beds were shown to influence mite prevalence. The appearance of Dp and Df significantly increased the occurrence of airway and nasal symptoms, while the presence of Ce was strongly correlated with skin symptoms. The activation of basophils and the correlation between specific IgE levels and allergic symptoms in response to Ce exposure were demonstrated. The presence of Ce was associated with elevated levels of allergens in bedding. The IgE adsorption between mite species was demonstrated suggesting cross-reactivity between the Ce and Dp was limited. Presence of Ce is associated with elevated levels of major mite allergens in beddings. Allergenicity of Ce was confirmed by IgE reactivity and basophil activation regarding mite infestation as a potential cause of skin-related allergy.

Postpartum Maternal Anxiety Affects the Development of Food Allergy Through Dietary and Gut Microbial Diversity During Early Infancy.

We aimed to investigate the mediating factors between maternal anxiety and the development of food allergy (FA) in children until 2 years from birth. In this longitudinal cohort of 122 mother-child dyads from pregnancy to 24 months of age, we regularly surveyed maternal psychological states, infant feeding data, and allergic symptoms and collected stool samples at 6 months of age for microbiome analysis. Considering the temporal order of data collection, we investigated serial mediating effects and indirect effects among maternal anxiety, dietary diversity (DD), gut microbial diversity, and FA using structural equation modeling. Among the 122 infants, 15 (12.3%) were diagnosed with FA. Increased maternal anxiety between 3 and 6 months after delivery was associated with a lower DD score. Infants with low DD at 4 months showed low gut microbial richness, which was associated with FA development. When the infants were grouped into 4 subtypes, using consensus clustering of 13 gut bacteria significantly associated with maternal anxiety and DD, Prevotella, Eubacterium, Clostridiales and Lachnospiraceae were more abundant in the group with lower FA occurrence. Postpartum maternal anxiety, mediated by reduced DD and gut microbial diversity, may be a risk factor for the development of FA in infants during the first 2 years of life.

Association between Breastfeeding and Development of Atopy

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between breastfeeding and the development of atopy. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecological clinics&amp;apos; waiting areas and admission wards of the Maternity and Children Hospital in Hail region, between November 2022 and February 2023, targeting mothers with at least one child over the age of one month. Results: A sample of 423 children from Hail was studied in the current research. Most of them were over 12 months old. Although most of the participants believed that breastfeeding reduced the incidence of atopic skin disease, the most prevalent type of feeding was formula feeding, followed by mixed feeding and exclusive breastfeeding. The study showed no significant effects of breastfeeding type on the development of allergies in children, as well as breastfeeding type and duration. However, there was a significant association between formula feeding and the development of allergic rhinitis, as it increases the incidence. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that no definitive link could be made between breastfeeding duration and the development of atopy or between breastfeeding type and the occurrence of atopy in children. However, the study showed that formula feeding was a significant risk factor for the development of allergic rhinitis.

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter components during pregnancy and early childhood and its association with asthma, allergies, and sensitization in school-age children.

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with allergic diseases, including asthma. However, information about the effects of specific PM2.5 components is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of exposure to chemical components of PM2.5 during pregnancy and early childhood with the development of asthma, allergies, and sensitization in school-age children. This study included 2,408 children in the second grade of elementary school. Questionnaire surveys of respiratory/allergic symptoms and measurements of serum total IgE and specific IgE levels to house dust mite (HDM) and animal proteins were conducted. Exposures to ambient PM2.5 mass, sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC) of PM2.5 in participants' residences from conception to age six were estimated using predictive models. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association of respiratory/allergic symptoms and allergen sensitization with estimated exposure concentrations, after adjustment for survey year, sex, season of birth, feeding method during infancy, presence of siblings, history of lower respiratory tract infection, use of childcare facilities, passive smoking, presence of pets, mother's age, history of allergic diseases, smoking during pregnancy, and annual household income. No significant association was found between PM2.5 and its component concentrations and asthma. However, wheezing significantly increased with mean NO3- concentrations during pregnancy (odds ratio of 1.64 [95% confidence interval: 1.10, 2.47] for an interquartile range increase). Significant associations were also found between EC in the second trimester of pregnancy and PM2.5, NO3-, EC, and OC concentrations in early childhood. Higher PM2.5, SO4-, and NH4+ concentrations during the second trimester increased the risk of rhinitis. Sensitizations to HDM and animal proteins were significantly associated with exposure to components such as SO42- and NH4+ during pregnancy but not with postnatal exposure. Exposures to NO3-, EC, and OC during pregnancy and early childhood were associated with wheezing. SO42- and NH4+ exposures during pregnancy were associated with sensitization to HDM and animal proteins. Asthma was not associated with exposure to PM2.5 and its main components at any period.

Comparative analysis of tropomyosin allergenicity in three different species of molluscs: insights into the role of amino acid composition in IgE epitopes.

Limited research has been conducted on the differences in allergenicity among Alectryonella plicatula tropomyosin (ATM), Haliotis discus hannai tropomyosin (HTM), and Mimachlamys nobilis tropomyosin (MTM) in molluscs. Our study aimed to comprehensively analyze and compare their immunoreactivity, sensitization, and allergenicity while simultaneously elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms involved. We assessed the immune binding activity of TM utilizing 86 sera from allergic patients and evaluated sensitization and allergenicity through two different types of mouse models. The dot-blot and basophil activation test assays revealed strong immunoreactivity for HTM, ATM, and MTM, with HTM exhibiting significantly lower levels compared to ATM. In the BALB/c mouse sensitization model, all TM groups stimulated the production of specific antibodies, elicited IgE-mediated immediate hypersensitivity responses, and caused an imbalance in the IL-4/IFN-γ ratio. Similarly, in the BALB/c mouse model of food allergy, all TM variants induced IgE-mediated type I hypersensitivity responses, leading to the development of food allergies characterized by clinical symptoms and an imbalance in the IL-4/IFN-γ ratio. The stimulation ability of sensitization and the severity of food allergies consistently ranked as ATM > MTM > HTM. Through an in-depth analysis of non-polar amino acid frequency and polar hydrogen bonds, HTM exhibited higher frequencies of non-polar amino acids in its amino acid sequence and IgE epitopes, in comparison with ATM and MTM. Furthermore, HTM demonstrated a lower number of polar hydrogen bonds in IgE epitopes. Overall, HTM exhibited the lowest allergenic potential in both allergic patients and mouse models, likely due to its lower polarity in the amino acid sequence and IgE epitopes.

The role of pediatricians in the diagnosis and management of IgE-mediated food allergy: a review.

Food allergy can often cause a significant burden on patients, families, and healthcare systems. The complexity of food allergy management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving different types of healthcare providers, including allergists, dieticians, psychologists, nurses, family practitioners and, of particular relevance for this article, pediatric primary caretakers. Pediatricians may be the first-line healthcare providers for food allergy: strategies for management and guideline adherence have been highlighted. This review article summarizes the up-to-date recommendations on the role of pediatricians in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of IgE-mediated food allergy. Early introduction of allergenic foods like peanut is known to be of importance to reduce the development of peanut allergy in infants, and pediatricians are essential for educating and supporting parents in this decision. In scenarios of limited allergist availability, as is often the case among rural, Medicaid and minority populations, pediatricians can assist in the evaluation and management of food allergy, and provide action plans, education and counselling for patients and families. Pediatric primary caretakers play a key role in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of IgE-mediated food allergy. As more diagnostic tools and therapies in food allergy become available, the need for a multidisciplinary team is paramount to optimize patient care.

Characterization of gut microbiome profile in children with confirmed wheat allergy.

Food allergies pose serious health risks, including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, increased morbidity, and reduced quality of life. Wheat allergy is a common concern in Asia. There is growing interest in understanding the potential association between dysregulation of the gut microbiome and the development of food allergies. This study aimed to explore the gut microbiome of Thai children with wheat allergy and its potential association with allergic responses. Microbial abundance was assessed using Quantitative Insights into Microbial Ecology 2 (QIIME2) microbiome analysis based on 16S rDNA data. The correlation between microbial richness and relevant parameters was evaluated using the Spearman correlation analysis. Additionally, the microbial community functions were predicted using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt2). The gut microbiome analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups at the phylum and genus levels. Firmicutes (p = 0.012) and Verrucomicrobia (p < 0.001) were enriched in wheat-allergic children, whereas specific gut microbes such as Megamonas (p = 0.04), Romboutsia (p < 0.001), Fusobacterium (p < 0.001), Clostridium senso stricto1 (p < 0.001), and Turicibacter (p < 0.001) were more abundant in healthy children. Anaerostripes (p = 0.011), Erysipelatoclostridium (p < 0.001), Prevotella 2 (p < 0.001), Ruminiclostridium 5 (p < 0.001), and Clostridium innnocuum (p < 0.001) were enriched in children with a confirmed wheat allergy. Functional analysis indicated disparities in the pathways related to arginine and polyamine biosynthesis. These findings offer valuable insights into the gut microbiome of children with wheat allergy and its potential impact on symptom severity, laying the groundwork for further research and interventions aimed at addressing this health concern.

Prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 downstream signaling and modulation of type 2 innate lymphoid cells from patients with asthma.

Increased production of Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is linked to development and progression of asthma and allergy. PGD2 is rapidly degraded to its metabolites, which initiate type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) migration and IL-5/IL-13 cytokine secretion in a PGD2 receptor 2 (DP2)-dependent manner. Blockade of DP2 has shown therapeutic benefit in subsets of asthma patients. Cellular mechanisms of ILC2 activity in response to PGD2 and its metabolites are still unclear. We hypothesized that ILC2 respond non-uniformly to PGD2 metabolites. ILC2s were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with atopic asthma. ILC2s were stimulated with PGD2 and four PGD2 metabolites (Δ12-PGJ2, Δ12-PGD2, 15-deoxyΔ12,14-PGD2, 9α,11β-PGF2) with or without the selective DP2 antagonist fevipiprant. Total RNA was sequenced, and differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified by DeSeq2. Differential gene expression analysis revealed an upregulation of pro-inflammatory DEGs in ILC2s stimulated with PGD2 (14 DEGs), Δ12-PGD2 (27 DEGs), 15-deoxyΔ12,14-PGD2 (56 DEGs) and Δ12-PGJ2 (136 DEGs), but not with 9α,11β-PGF2. Common upregulated DEGs were i.e. ARG2, SLC43A2, LAYN, IGFLR1, or EPHX2. Inhibition of DP2 via fevipiprant mainly resulted in downregulation of pro-inflammatory genes such as DUSP4, SPRED2, DUSP6, ETV1, ASB2, CD38, ADGRG1, DDIT4, TRPM2, or CD69. DEGs were related to migration and various immune response-relevant pathways such as "chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 production", "cell migration", "interleukin-13 production", "regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT", or "lymphocyte apoptotic process", underlining the pro-inflammatory effects of PGD2 metabolite-induced immune responses in ILC2s as well as the anti-inflammatory effects of DP2 inhibition via fevipiprant. Furthermore, PGD2 and metabolites showed distinct profiles in ILC2 activation. Overall, these results expand our understanding of DP2 initiated ILC2 activity.

Targeting Food Allergy with Probiotics.

The globally dramatic increase in food allergy prevalence and severity is demanding effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Food allergy derives from a defect of immune tolerance mechanisms. Immune tolerance is modulated by gut microbiome composition and function, and gut microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with the development of food allergy. Selected probiotic strains could regulate immune tolerance mechanisms. The mechanisms are multiple and are still not completely defined. Increasing evidence is providing useful information on the choice of optimal bacterial species/strains, dosage, and timing for intervention. The increased knowledge on the crucial role played by postbiotic gut microbiome-derived metabolites, such as butyrate, is also opening the way to a post- biotic approach in the stimulation of immune tolerance.

STATE-OF-THE-ART OF GLOBAL START-UP INVESTMENT FOR ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY 2022

In 2022, the "New Capitalism Grand Design and Implementation Plan" was adopted in Japan, emphasizing the promotion and environmental development of startups. Given this context, an investigation into the startup and investment landscape in the allergy sector, both domestically and internationally, becomes imperative. We analyzed 156 allergy-related startups from Japan, the US, and Europe from 2010 to 2021. Data on corporate information and investment trends were extracted from databases and VC websites. The total investment reached approximately 7.2 billion USD, with a ratio of 20:6:1 for the US, Europe, and Japan, respectively. The US showed a decline post its peak from 2016-2018, while Europe and Japan experienced growth. Notably, the US primarily invested in biopharmaceuticals for atopic dermatitis and food allergies, Europe in asthma-related apps, and Japan in healthcare apps and cross-border startups. While Japan's investment environment in the allergy sector remains in its nascent stages and has room for development, the US and Europe are evidently ahead. Considering the rise of startups and funding limitations in Japan, external funding from regions like the US becomes a potential avenue. These findings are anticipated to contribute to the strategic activation of startups in allergy research and development.

Immune Mechanism and Nutritional Intervention of Food Allergy

With the increasing number of people with food allergy, the public's awareness of their own health is constantly improving. The key to reduce the prevalence and incidence of food allergy is to understand the immune sensitization mechanism of food allergy and conduct nutritional intervention in daily life. The main immune sensitization of food allergy is related to immunoglobulin E and specific helper T cells in the human body. Meanwhile, the occurrence and development of food allergy are also closely related to the intestinal flora. After understanding the mechanism of sensitization, nutritional intervention can be carried out from the aspects of avoiding sensitization factor intake, food replacement, and not blind diet. Due to the particularity and complexity of food allergy diseases, the public's understanding of them is still limited, and the measures should be adjusted and improved from all aspects of the society. This paper reviews the mechanisms of immune sensitization and the nutritional intervention of food allergy, and puts forward suggestions and ideas for the nutritional intervention of food allergy.

Nurturing Infants to Prevent Atopic Dermatitis and Food Allergies: A Longitudinal Study.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) at a young age often precedes the development of food allergies. Although AD affects millions of infants worldwide, prenatal and postnatal risk factors, and their association with the development of food allergies later on, are not fully elucidated. This study seeks to investigate AD epidemiology in infancy and its risk factors, examining early-life factors (both prenatal and postnatal) that could contribute to the later development of food allergies. Between January 2019 and December 2019, 501 infants were included in this prospective cohort study. Longitudinal data collection was performed through maternal interviews, the first one conducted within three days after the delivery and the second within 24 to 36 months after the delivery, encompassing variables such as demographics, family history of atopy, maternal smoking, antibiotic use during pregnancy, the mode of delivery, breastfeeding history, food practices, and greenness exposure within 3 days from delivery, while they were still in the hospital. Maternal smoking during pregnancy (p = 0.001) and an older sibling atopy history (p = 0.03) was significantly linked to AD incidence. Cesarean section delivery (p = 0.04) was associated with a higher risk of food allergies in infants with AD. Having a garden at home correlated with a higher likelihood of AD (p = 0.01), and food elimination without medical guidance (p = 0.02) due to AD correlated with an elevated risk of food allergies. Encouraging timely allergenic food introduction while promoting dietary diversity, rich in plant-based foods, maternal smoking cessation, and professional dietary guidance may help minimize AD and food allergy risk. Future studies should address the role of greenness in the development of AD and food allergies.

Peanut Allergy and Component-Resolved Diagnostics Possibilities-What Are the Benefits?

Peanut allergy is a widespread and potentially life-threatening condition that affects both children and adults, with a growing incidence worldwide. It is estimated to affect around 1-2% of the population in several developed countries. Component-resolved diagnostics is a modern approach to allergy diagnosis that focuses on identifying specific allergenic proteins to provide precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. It is a technique that enables the analysis of specific IgE antibodies against tightly defined molecules (components) that constitute the allergen. Component-resolved diagnostics is particularly valuable in peanut allergy diagnosis, helping to determine allergen components associated with severe reactions. It also aids in predicting the course of the allergy and enables the development of personalized immunotherapy plans; however, the full application of it for these purposes still requires more precise studies. In this paper, we present the current knowledge about peanut allergy and component-resolved diagnostics possibilities. We discuss the possibilities of using molecular diagnostics in the diagnosis of peanut allergy. We focus on examining and predicting the development of peanut allergy, including the risk of anaphylaxis, and describe the latest data related to desensitization to peanuts.
