Abstract
BACKGROUND Spices originate in various botanical families: Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Liliaceae, Myristicaceae, Myrtaceae, Piperaceae, Solanaceae, Zingiberaceae.... METHODOLOGY Prick-tests to native spices have been carried out in patients suspected of food allergies to spices. The CICBAA data bank includes 589 cases of food allergies, a part of which has benefited from investigations for spices. Data about the rate of sensitization and food allergy are available. RESULTS Frequent sensitization to Apiaceae is observed: coriander, caraway, fennel, celery: 32% of prick-tests in children, 23% of prick-tests in adults. Sensitization to Liliaceae: garlic, onion, chive, is observed in 4.6% of prick-tests in children, 7.7% of prick-tests in adults. Rare cases of sensitization to paprika and saffron are recorded. Prick-tests to nutmeg, ginger and clove are currently negative. 10 food allergies related to the mugwort-celery-spices syndrome are reported: coriander: 1, caraway: 2, fennel: 3, garlic: 3, onion: 1. Food allergy to spices is unfrequent: 2% of the totality of food allergies. However, only adults are allergic to spices and allergy to spices accounts for 6.4% of food allergies in adults. Tiny amount of proteins are usually ingested. Patients at risk of spice allergy are young adults sensitized to mugwort and birch allergens, sharing cross-sensitization with various food vegetal allergens. The clinical suspicion raises from frequent post-prandial systemic reactions. Other allergens of vegetal origin have to be cleared. Diagnosis can be established by DBPCFC using powdered spices in capsules.

Abstract
Food allergy to cow's milk proteins (APLV) is frequently found in young infants. Treatment is by starting an elimination diet. Different substitution products have been proposed: soya milk, partial hydrolysate of the proteins of lactoserum, powdered casein hydrolysate, hydrolysed soya and pork collagen. Allergic reactions to soya milk, hydrolysates of lactoserum proteins, powdered casein hydrolysates and hydrolysates of soya have been described. The study that we present evaluates the effect on the natural development of these allergies of a formula based on amino-acids (Neocate) in 26 patients who presented a syndrome of multiple allergies one of which was a food allergy to milk. Twenty-five of them had a severe atopic dermatitis, isolated (14 cases), or associated with gastro-intestinal troubles (6) break in the growth curve (5), anaphylactic reactions (2), one asthma (1). One child had a chronic diarrhoea associated with a weight plateau. Evaluation 2 or 3 months later showed a significant improvement of the atopic dermatitis. Return of the stature-weight growth was noted in 4 children from 5, the check in one was reported as due to a initially unrecognised allergy to gluten. The recovery of the APLV was shown by double-blind oral provocation test in 20/23 children between 11 and 37 months (22 +/- 9). Duration of administration of Neonate was between 6 to 19 months (12 + 5) months. This study confirmed the beneficial effect of the amino-acid formula on weight gain, gastro-intestinal troubles and development of atopic dermatitis. The level of recovery of APLV of 86% at the age of 2 years is better than that reported in the syndrome of multiple food allergies of 22%. The influence of this diet on the development of other food allergies remains to be evaluated.

Abstract
Food allergy to wheat flour is a pathology that is found less frequently than coeliac disease or respiratory allergy to flour; it seems however to be a constant argument. Our study used a panel of 28 patients diagnosed with food allergy to wheat flour. Our objective was to characterise the reactivity of type IgE and IgG antibodies of these patients with regard to the different classes of proteins of wheat flour so as to establish an antigenic profile of the allergens of wheat in the framework of food allergy to flour. Our results show the implication of different classes of wheat proteins and notably the major reserve proteins (gliadins and glutens) in food allergy.

Abstract
Allergy to milk has an estimated incidence of 2.5%. Hypoallergenic milks are partial hydrolysates of proteins with lactose. Extensive hydrolysates of casein are mainly small peptides and do not include lactose in their formula. A primary allergenicity as well as a cross-sensitivity are shown for all partial hydrolysates. Even extensive hydrolysates have a weak potential of cross-allergy. The prevention of cow's milk allergy in infants at peculiar risk, born from atopic parents, is based on breast-feeding and/or partial or extensive hydrolysates. There is no conclusive evidence for the usefulness of eviction of dairy products during pregnancy or during the period of breast-feeding. The treatment needs exclusively extensive casein hydrolysates ensuring a 90% protection with 95% confidence intervals. Predictive prick tests in certain cases may help the choice of another hydrolysate. Severe cases with failure to thrive or multiple food intolerance require an amino-acid based formula (Neocate). A rational diversification of the diet is advised in order to prevent the onset of a multiple food intolerance syndrome which could avert from the recovery of cow milk allergy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with severe food allergies can benefit from a personalized care project (PCP) in schools. The usefulness of the PCP and the residual risk of allergic emergencies are poorly appreciated. The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of the management plan and the training in the use of the emergency kit. METHODS A telephone survey using a detailed questionnaire was performed in 45 families whose children had been previously referred to the department. The distribution of disorders was as follows: asthma, 37.7%; atopic dermatitis and asthma, 28.8%; atopic dermatitis, 15.5%; angioedema and urticaria, 13.3%; and anaphylactic shock, 4.2%. Food allergy had been diagnosed in the 45 children by past history, and double-blind or single-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges (DBPCFCs, or SBPCFCs) with evidence of specific IgE. Exactly 75.5% of the children had peanut allergy. Multiple food allergies characterized 46.8% of the subjects. They had benefited from a strict elimination diet and a protocol for emergency care including a ready-to-use intramuscular epinephrine injection. A PCP had been requested by the School Public Health Service. RESULTS Thirty-nine PCPs were implemented (86.5% of the requests). They represented 63% of the PCPs for food allergy in the eastern region of France: one per 5800 school-age children. The retrospective period of evaluation was 25 months on average. The types of meals were very diverse, and medically acceptable in 83% of cases. The place where the emergency kit was stored in the school varied. Forty reactions occurred in 33% of the children (5/6 times in the absence of a PCP), asthma in 28%, shock in 1%, and immediate skin reactions in 11%. Reactions occurred at home in 78% of the subjects, and in school in 22% of the subjects. The cause of the reactions was not specifically known in 63% of cases. Twenty-seven percent of the reactions were linked to the ingestion of food allergens. In 10% of subjects, the reaction was due to a modification of ingredients by the food industry. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of respiratory symptoms during oral challenge tests was confirmed by the frequency of asthmatic reactions within the follow-up period. The role of hidden allergens and of misleading labeling validates the need for PCPs in the case of peanut and tree nut allergies, past history of severe reactions, multiple food allergies, reactions to a low dose in DBPCFCs, and asthmatic reactions to foods. This study provides encouraging data on the usefulness of PCPs and confirms the need for thorough instruction and training of the school staff in dealing with allergic emergencies. Addition of a beta-agonist spray to the emergency kit is suggested.

Abstract
Drug allergies (DA) are mainly observed by general practitioners. The immediate management of reactions as well as further investigations include to know what are placebo negative reactions, linked to autonomic system hyper-reactivity. The chronology of drug intakes and related symptoms has to be specified. In case of reactions, any drug must be stopped. Subsequent worsening of symptoms requires hospitalization. Biology is not useful, the dosage of tryptase excepted in the case of anaphylactoid shock. Allergological investigations should be conducted in the next three months. Safe guiding principles for future treatments are detailed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adverse reactions to iodinated contrast media (ICM) share various mechanisms. Anaphylactoid reactions are among the most serious reactions when they are characterized by the elevation of seric tryptase. Pretreatment with corticosteroids and anti-H1 or the use of non-ionic contrast media do not prevent anaphylaxis. Late skin reactions could be mostly related to delayed hypersensitivity. Previous reactions to contrast media, cardiovascular disorders, beta-blockers, asthma, and atopy are risk factors. Female gender and age increase the severity. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS Anaphylaxis can be demonstrated by intradermal tests and the identification of specific IgEs. Delayed hypersensitivity is shown by the results of epicutaneous tests and the immunohistology of the skin. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS Allergologic tests are advised in the case of previous reactions. In case of emergency, gadopentetate dimeglumine can be alternatively used. The other risk factors lead to the combination of pretreatment and use of non-ionic monomeric contrast media. Immediate hypersensitivity to iodinated media might increase in the near future with the use of divalent molecules.

Abstract
Latex hypersensitivity is a major cause of anaphylaxis during anaesthesia. Patients with spina bifida, health care or rubber industry workers have been considered at risk for latex sensitization. By analogy, the existence of other at-risk subsets of patients with latex exposure due to frequent surgical procedures has been suggested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of latex sensitization in a cohort of adult patients with spinal cord injury and repeated latex exposure. Forty-two adult patients with spinal cord injury were studied and retrospectively compared to a group of 30 children with spina bifida evaluated using a similar protocol. Patients were administered a questionnaire concerning history of latex hypersensitivity, atopy, and surgical procedures. Latex sensitivity was investigated by skin prick-tests and latex-specific IgE assay. The search for atopy was based on in vivo and in vitro tests against a panel of environmental allergens. No chronic spinal cord injured patient had a history of latex allergy. When compared with spina bifida, the number of surgical procedures was not statistically different. Although not significantly different, the prevalence of atopy was higher in spina bifida patients. The high level of latex sensitization in spina bifida patients contrasted sharply with the absence of sensitization observed on both skin and in vitro tests in patients with spinal cord injury (P<0.0001). This study confirms that adult patients with chronic neurologic defects resulting from spinal cord injury exhibit a low risk of latex sensitization. These results suggest that considering adult patients with repeated surgical procedures as a group at risk for latex sensitization because of a high degree of latex exposure should be re-examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy (FA) is an important health problem for which epidemiologic studies are needed. OBJECTIVE We performed an epidemiologic survey in France to determine the prevalence, clinical pictures, allergens, and risk factors of FA. METHODS This study was conducted on 33,110 persons who answered a questionnaire addressed to a representative sample of the French population on a scale of 1:1000 (44,000 subjects aged </=60 years). One thousand one hundred twenty-nine persons with FA selected during phase 1 received a second questionnaire. RESULTS The reported prevalence of FA is 3.52%: 3.24% evolutionary FA; 0.12% asymptomatic cases thanks to eviction diets; and 0.17% cured FA. The subjects were characterized by overrepresentation of city dwellers (80% vs 76%), women (63% vs 50%), and health care personnel (11% vs 4%). Fifty-seven percent (vs 17%) presented with atopic diseases (P <.01). FA was often persistent, lasting more than 7 years in 91% of the adults. The most frequent allergens were 14% Rosaceae, 9% vegetables, 8% milk, 8% crustaceans, 5% fruit cross-reacting with latex, 4% egg, 3% tree nuts, and 1% peanut. Sensitization to pollen was significantly correlated with angioedema, asthma, rhinitis, and fruit allergy (P <.01). FA was 4 times more frequent in patients with latex allergy. The main manifestations of FA were atopic dermatitis for subjects under 6 years of age, asthma for subjects between 4 and 6 years of age, and anaphylactic shock in adults over 30 years of age (P <.007). Shocks were correlated with alcohol or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug intake (P <.01 and P <.04, respectively). CONCLUSION The prevalence of FA is estimated at 3.24% (range, 3.04% to 3.44%) in France. This study emphasizes the increasing risk of FA in well-developed countries and draws attention to certain FA risk factors, such as the intake of drugs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) or alcohol, intolerance of latex gloves, and socioprofessional status.
