“…In a survey of Russian physicians' knowledge of diagnosis and management of food-induced anaphylaxis, only 29% of those making the correct diagnosis chose epinephrine intramuscular as first line treatment (10% of the responders), while higher percentages preferred intramuscular corticosteroids (37%) or chlorpheniramine (26%) [24] . Similar results were also observed in studies from South Korea [19] , Turkey [25] , Lebanon [26] , while the performance was much better when selected specialties were surveyed including the emergency centre physicians 27. , 28.…”

The European Anaphylaxis Registry (NORA) was designed in order to create a comprehensive Anaphylaxis Registry regarding anaphylactic reactions characteristics and management in several European countries, including Greece. This study aims to analyze Greek data obtained in the NORA framework and describe anaphylaxis’ characteristics in this pediatric cohort. An online questionnaire was filled out by the Allergy Unit of the 2nd Pediatric Department of NKUA, regarding reported anaphylaxis characteristics. A total of 284 pediatric patients were analyzed. Patients were predominantly male. A previous, mild reaction (59.5%) to the same allergen was documented in 44.4% of patients. The most common system involved was skin and/or mucosa, followed by the respiratory system. Food was the most common eliciting factor (82.4%). First line treatment was most administered solely by a healthcare professional, followed by a lay person (38.7%). Auto injected adrenaline use by lay persons was third in frequency (29.2%). Most patients received post-reaction counseling and appropriate drug prescription. This study provides insight in anaphylactic cases’ characteristics and management in a Greek pediatric cohort. A low rate of adrenaline autoinjector administration was noted in lay people; however, drug prescription and counseling following the reaction could help increase correct acute anaphylaxis management in the future.

Background: There are increasing global data relating to prevalence of food allergy and food-induced anaphylaxis; however, this is often based on surrogate measures of sensitization rather than objective symptoms at food challenge. In terms of protecting food-allergic consumers from reactions, to our knowledge, there has been no global survey assessing geographic differences in the proportion of anaphylaxis triggered by specific foods. Objective: We sought to identify common triggers for foodinduced anaphylaxis and how these vary from country to country.Methods: Systematic review of relevant reports published between January 2010 and November 2020. Results were reported following PRISMA guidelines. Publications were screened and data extracted by 2 independent reviewers, and the risk of bias was assessed. Results: Sixty-five studies (encompassing 41 countries and all 6 regions as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) were included. Significant regional variations in the most common triggers of food anaphylaxis were seen; however, in general, there was good agreement between local legislative requirements
