An Indoor Environmental Advisor is a health professional trained to diagnose household environment of patients suffering from respiratory illnesses (mostly allergic asthma). They only intervene with a medical prescription. In order to evaluate the impact of the advisor's intervention on the patient's respiratory illness, a retrospective study was conducted from 2011 to 2022, over 648 house visits, through a form sent 6 months following the visit. In all, 164 forms were analyzed (25% of visited patients). The aim is to show the impact of these visits on the patient's health. Three out of four patients reported a global improvement in their health as well as a decrease in the number of attacks and crisis. For a quarter of patients, the ongoing disease treatment was stopped. Half of the patients are less absent (at work or school) and less often need to consult their physician or to be hospitalized. This declarative retrospective study contains biases but showcases a strong trend (namely health improvements, lower meds consumption, less hospitalizations) which are in agreement with those observed on numerous studies on the medical usefulness of the role of the Indoor Environment Advisor.

Introduction
Le propofol est un agent hypnotique intraveineux, couramment utilisé comme anesthésique dans l’induction et l’entretien des anesthésies générales. Les anaphylaxies périopératoires impliquent de nombreuses molécules mais l’imputabilité du propofol reste rare surtout dès la première exposition.
Observation
Un patient de 25 ans est opéré pour la première fois en septembre 2024 d’une septoturbinoplastie sous anesthésie générale. L’induction est réalisée par sufentanil, kétamine, propofol, et les traitements associés sont méthylprednisolone et lidocaïne. En peropératoire, le patient présente une anaphylaxie de grade 3. Les taux des tryptases percritiques étaient de 9,73 μg/L à 30 min et 12,3 μg/L à 1 h 30 pour une tryptase basale à 2,94 μg/L. Les tests cutanés réalisés 6 semaines plus tard étaient négatifs pour kétamine, propofol, sufentanil, lidocaïne, méthylprednisolone. Un test de provocation au propofol est réalisé, revenant positif au seuil de 1 mg.
Discussion
Notre cas démontre une anaphylaxie IgE-médiée au propofol par le seul test de provocation et ceci lors d’une première exposition peropératoire. Les mécanismes de sensibilisation croisée restent rares mais possibles, notamment via les cosmétiques, ce que nous avons recherché chez notre patient, notamment par l’intermédiaire d’une crème visage dermatologique à laquelle il a réagi il y a plusieurs années.
Conclusion
Les anaphylaxies au propofol dès la première exposition peropératoire sont possibles. Ce cas souligne l’importance d’explorations exhaustives des anaphylaxies peropératoires, incluant, si nécessaire, la réalisation sécurisée de tests de provocation au propofol.

Introduction
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare form of non-IgE-mediated food allergy that typically presents in infancy. The clinical picture is usually characterized by delayed-onset, repetitive severe vomiting. Due to these symptoms, FPIES can be easily confused with acute abdominal conditions requiring surgical intervention, such as intussusception, and must therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis.
Case report
A previously healthy six-month-old male infant presented to the emergency department with profuse vomiting and lethargy approximately one hour after ingesting yogurt for the first time. Evaluation revealed intussusception, and surgical intervention was performed. Due to the history of recurrent vomiting and lethargy after yogurt ingestion, FPIES was considered as a preliminary diagnosis. At nine months of age, an open oral food challenge was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of FPIES.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates that FPIES may not only mimic intussusception but also predispose to this complication. Therefore, FPIES should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infants presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms, and complications such as intussusception should be recognized as potentially associated with FPIES, particularly in cases of persistent vomiting despite ondansetron.

Background
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by a classic triad of eczema, recurrent infections and microthrombocytopenia. Opportunistic infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, underscoring the critical importance of cotrimoxazole (CMX) prophylaxis. However, CMX can cause cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions, which are particularly challenging in patients with WAS.
Case presentation
We describe the occurrence of an eczematous rash in an 11-month-old infant with WAS shortly after the initiation of CMX. Since the patient had also received intravenous immunoglobulin and antituberculous therapy, a comprehensive medication timeline was reconstructed in order to identify the causative agent. According to this analysis, the most likely trigger was CMX. In order to maintain prophylaxis, an oral desensitization protocol was subsequently implemented.
Results
Oral desensitization over three days was well tolerated, allowing full target daily dose administration without recurrence of cutaneous reaction and maintaining essential antibiotic prophylaxis.
Conclusion
Oral CMX desensitization is a safe and effective strategy in infants with WAS, for whom therapeutic alternatives are limited. Standardization and dissemination of pediatric desensitization protocols are necessary to improve patient care.

Study objective
Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction that requires prompt recognition and immediate intervention. Primary care physicians, often being the first to respond, play a critical role in its management; however, global evidence reveals persistent gaps in their knowledge and practice. This nationwide study aimed to assess the knowledge, clinical practices, and preparedness of primary care physicians in Turkey regarding the management of anaphylaxis.
Methods
A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 400 active primary care physicians. The questionnaire comprised 8 demographic/practice items and 16 knowledge-based questions aligned with WAO 2020 and EAACI 2021 guidelines. Descriptive and multivariate statistical analyses were applied.
Results
While 86.5% of participants correctly identified epinephrine as the first-line treatment, only 74.0% knew the correct dose, 53.0% the appropriate concentration, and 78.8% the recommended injection site. Regular educational activity and recent training were significantly associated with higher knowledge scores (respectively; P = 0.028 and P = 0.021). Clinical experience alone did not predict better performance. Across all primary care physicians, the mean number of correct answers to the 16 knowledge-based questions was 9.93 ± 2.48. Among subgroups, general practitioners scored significantly lower (8.82 ± 2.60) compared to family medicine residents (10.02 ± 2.36) and family medicine specialists (10.62 ± 2.28) (P < 0.001).
Conclusion
The study reveals substantial knowledge deficiencies among Turkish primary care physicians, especially in epinephrine use (72%). Structured continuing education and integration of anaphylaxis-specific training into primary care physicians’ curricula are urgently needed to improve frontline response and patient safety.

Immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) pose significant diagnostic challenges, often requiring potentially hazardous drug challenge testing (DCT). Recent studies have indicated that flow cytometry-based cellular tests, including the basophil activation test (BAT), the mast cell activation test (MAT), and the T cell activation test (TAT), offer a promising alternative to reduce DCT reliance. While these tests are still in development, they demonstrate potential to compete with skin tests by providing superior diagnostic performance and improved patient safety by reducing the need for DCT. Moreover, it is encouraging that these flow cytometry-based tests are also suitable for challenging populations, such as children. Despite requiring specialised infrastructure, these tests have the potential to be cost-effective when performed in reference centres and may offer unique mechanistic insights into immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions. However, further research is required to validate their reliability, address pharmaceutical-specific testing considerations, and potentially integrate them into clinical guidelines.
