Although genetics may play a role in this increase, there are many other factors that have contributed to the upsurge. Recent research has shown that introducing allergenic foods to infants at an early age can reduce the risk of developing allergies to those foods. This is a substantial departure from traditional advice, which had recommended delaying the introduction of potential allergenic foods until a child was at least 1 year old and, in some cases, until the child was much older. <b>Objective:</b> The purpose of the present report is to review the epidemiology, mechanisms, and new prevention strategies for food allergies, and to discuss new treatment modalities associated with immune tolerance, which include the use of biologics as well as new forms of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) such as oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), which have particular relevance for the allergist/immunologist. <b>Results:</b> Innovative developments in the treatment of food allergies have emerged through improved comprehension of immune tolerance and the induction of regulatory T (Treg) cells, the understanding of T-helper type 2 (Th2) cell-driven responses and their associated proinflammatory cytokine production, epitope mapping techniques, and the utilization of drugs such as monoclonal antibodies that target interleukin (IL) 4, IL-5, and IL-13 to disrupt Th2 cell-related pathways. In addition, there have been significant advancements in new forms AIT methods, which include OIT, SLIT, and EPIT. <b>Conclusion:</b> The present report reviews several of the many aspects of food allergy that have been impacted by this new knowledge and which have led to new insights for the optimal diagnosis and management of food allergy, and has had important implications for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and management of these conditions. The improved understanding of Treg-related mechanisms of immune tolerance and Th2 cell-driven responses associated with the production of proinflammatory cytokines associated with these responses, together with epitope mapping techniques, have played a crucial role in enhancing the diagnosis and management of food allergies.

More recently, a group of patients with a symptom complex similar to PANDAS without evidence of streptococcal etiology was given the acronym pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). Despite more than several decades of study and increasing numbers of patients being identified with PANDAS and PANS, there are ongoing controversies, which range from disagreements about specific pathogenetic mechanisms to whether these entities actually exist. <b>Objective:</b> The purpose of this report was to examine the current body of evidence that deals with the relationship(s) of immunologic host responses to infection and putative immunologic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these disorders, to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapies with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and to consider the extent to which allergist/immunologists might be involved in their management. <b>Methods:</b> An extensive literature review was conducted in medical literature data bases by applying terms such as PANDAS, PAN, autoimmune encephalitis, neuroinflammation, and autoimmune obsessive-compulsive disorders. <b>Results:</b> PANDAS and its later iterative form, PANS, continue to challenge clinicians, patients, and their families. Although the precise reason why these disorders develop remains unknown, both are considered to have an autoimmune basis related to the production of antibodies directed at antigens of the putative causative infectious disease agents that are cross-reactive with antigenic epitopes on selected brain nuclei, which lead to the neuroinflammatory sequelae responsible for the neuropsychiatric symptoms of these conditions, a phenomenon referred to as molecular mimicry. <b>Conclusion:</b> The PANDAS/PANS disorders are a continuing burden for growing numbers of patients, health-care providers, and the global health-care systems, and are a particular challenge for the allergist/immunologist who is increasingly being called upon for their management.
