Food allergy can result in considerable morbidity, impact negatively on quality of life, and prove costly in terms of medical care. It is mostly IgE-mediated and a chronic disease affecting up to 4% of the European population.
This eLearning product delves into the epidemiology and economics; the needs, perspectives and best practices for food allergic patients; allergens and their detection; the role of the skin barrier and skin manifestations of food allergy; latest updates in diagnosis and management; and the immune processes in the disease.

Description of the educational objectives and outcome:
After the lecture the participant should know about the different applications of the Basophil Activation Test for different questions in the diagnosis and therapy of insect venom allergy. The importance of the BAT in this allergy field lies in the additional information about sensitization and clinical relevance. The learner should know the principle of the basophil activation test.
Target audience of the talk:
The target audience of the talk are clinicians who have to decide on the indication and the success of insect venom allergy. An intermediate to advanced level of knowledge about the insect venom diagnosis and therapy is needed.
