Overview
abstract
The management of food allergy has evolved over the past several years with regulatory approval of food allergy therapeutics as well as the common practice of oral immunotherapy. Whether a patient or family chooses one of these therapies or avoidance, they are still considered at risk of reaction, and thus clinicians still need to stay up to date with the latest advancements in the management of anaphylaxis in patients with food allergy. This review will highlight some of these updates, starting with the definition, diagnosis, and classifications of anaphylaxis. It will then review the latest updates in management of food anaphylaxis in the community. Finally, the review will discuss the latest in epinephrine including recommendations on epinephrine dosing and novel routes of epinephrine administration.
