“…Some examples found in the literature include extensive data demonstrating safety of influenza vaccination in individuals allergic to egg, 24e26 safety of cephalosporin antibiotics in patients who report a history of penicillin allergy, 27,28 inappropriate use and interpretation of food-specific IgE testing, 29,30 poor understanding of the recommended timing of introduction of allergenic foods to infants, 31,32 and improper recommendations for dog allergen-avoidance measures. 33,34 However, it is helpful to illustrate details of 1 misconception from this survey, which has been propagated for 40 years. 35 Physicians frequently alter their decision making regarding the use of radiocontrast media in patients who report a history of shellfish allergy.…”

“…Recommendations included minimizing exposure to rodent and cockroach allergens in homes to reduce the risk of sensitization, allergic disease, and asthma morbidity [30,31]. Similarly, recommendations included exposure reduction of cat and dog allergens in homes to reduce the risk that sensitized children will develop asthma and reduce the risk of asthma morbidity in already sensitized school-age children and adults [32]. Importantly, the caveat of early-life exposures was addressed, as it had been observed that exposure to elevated levels of cat and/or dog allergen before 3 months of age may reduce the likelihood of developing sensitization to said furry animal.…”

Challenging previously conceived exposure-disease relationships, recent literature has elucidated new avenues in the complex interplay between immunologically active exposures and their effects on inner-city asthma. These findings, and improved understanding of other relevant exposures, could steer the direction of primary (and secondary) disease prevention research. Moreover, careful identification of asthma characteristics has effectively established predictors of exacerbations, highlighting individuals for which additional therapies are warranted and for whom such treatments are most likely to be effective.

“…Dogs are more commonly owned (38–48%) than cats (28–38%), and in many homes both types of pets are present (14%). Although exposure and sensitization to cat and dog allergens are important risk factors for allergic sensitization and disease [8, 24], pet ownership has not been found to be less prevalent among atopic individuals than in non-atopics [23•, 25]. …”

“…Sensitization to indoor allergens has been strongly associated with allergic respiratory disease [2, 3]. Although the role of indoor allergen exposures in the development of allergic sensitization and disease is complex and not fully understood [1], elevated indoor allergen levels in the home, particularly in the bedroom, can trigger and exacerbate symptoms in allergic and asthmatic individuals [4–8]. …”

Purpose of the review: The review provides insight into recent findings on bedroom allergen exposures, primarily focusing on pet, pest and fungal exposures. Recent findings: Large-scale studies and improved exposure assessment technologies, including measurement of airborne allergens and of multiple allergens simultaneously, has extended our understanding of indoor allergen exposures and their impact on allergic disease. Practical, streamlined methods for exposure reduction have shown promise in some settings, and potential protective effects of early-life exposures have been further elucidated through the investigation of specific bacterial taxa. Advances in molecular allergology have yielded novel data on sensitization profiles and cross-reactivity. Summary: The role of indoor allergen exposures in allergic disease is complex and remains incompletely understood. Advancing our knowledge of various co-exposures, including the environmental and host microbiome, that interact with allergens in early life will be crucial for the development of efficacious interventions to reduce the substantial economic and social burden of allergic diseases including asthma.
