TL;DR: PPOIT was effective in inducing possible sustained unresponsiveness and immune changes that suggest modulation of the peanut-specific immune response and the relative contributions of probiotics versus OIT.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated associations between diet and egg allergy adjusted for possible confounding factors, including the duration of breast-feeding and the ages of introducing solids, and found that introducing eggs into the diet later was associated with higher risks of egg allergy (adjusted odds ratios [ORs], 1.6 [95% CI, 1.0-2.6] and 3.4 [95%) for introduction at 10-12, respectively).

TL;DR: These results provide the first direct evidence that vitamin D sufficiency may be an important protective factor for food allergy in the first year of life.

TL;DR: Ara h 2 sIgE is the dominant peanut allergen detected in 90% to 100% of patients with peanut allergy and could help improve diagnosis of peanut allergy as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Ara h 2 plasma sIgE test levels could be considered a new diagnostic tool to distinguish peanut allergy from peanut tolerance, which might reduce the need for an oral food challenge (OFC).
