Food allergy immunotherapy is a promising allergen-specific approach to manage food allergy in children, although it is not exempt from adverse events, even severe. The adverse events are not predictable and furthermore cofactors can play a role in triggering them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients on food allergy immunotherapy should be provided with suggestions on how to proceed in the event of COVID-19 infection occurring or is suspected. These recommendations would be of support to clinical practitioners dealing with patients on food allergy immunotherapy since there is little data in the literature on the topic.
食物过敏免疫疗法是一种有前途的过敏原特异性方法,可以治疗儿童食物过敏,尽管它并非没有不良反应,甚至是严重的不良反应。这些不良反应是不可预测的,此外,诱发因素也可能在其中发挥作用。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,正在接受食物过敏免疫治疗的患者应在 COVID-19 感染发生或疑似感染时,获得有关如何进行治疗的建议。这些建议将为处理接受食物过敏免疫治疗的患者的临床医生提供支持,因为文献中关于该主题的数据很少。
