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.
Get eLearning! Gain a deeper knowledge of food allergy and anaphylaxis by completing one or more of EAACI’s courses on this topic.
To learn about basic immunological mechanisms (T-cell mediated and B-cell mediated) contributing to food allergy processes, such as allergic tolerance and persistent allergy. A general overview of the impact of the microbiota on the immune system and, particularly, on food allergy is also given.
