Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to our distinguished Special Issue, ‘Pediatric Allergic and Immunological Diseases’, a platform designed to amplify the collective knowledge surrounding allergies in children. We extend a warm invitation to authors to contribute articles that illuminate various facets of pediatric allergies.

This Special Issue seeks to be a comprehensive repository of advancements in pediatric allergic disease research. Authors are encouraged to explore topics such as the latest diagnostic methodologies, innovative treatment paradigms, and the evolving molecular landscape of pediatric allergic conditions. We envision a multifaceted collection that not only deepens our understanding of these diseases but also contributes substantively to their management and care. Original research articles and in-depth reviews are all welcome. Through this collaborative effort, we aim to create a nuanced resource that clinicians, and researchers can utilize to enhance the overall well-being of children grappling with allergies. By fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas, this Special Issue aspires to be a catalyst for transformative approaches in pediatric allergy care. Submissions are now open, and we eagerly anticipate a diverse array of contributions that will shape the discourse on pediatric allergic diseases. Join us in this collective pursuit of advancing knowledge and improving the lives of children affected by allergies. Together, let us chart new territories in pediatric allergy research and care.

Treatment of IgE-mediated food allergy involves avoiding the food causing the allergic reaction. In association, an action plan for allergic reactions is indicated, sometimes including self-injectable adrenaline. In addition to these dietary and medical implications, there are two equally important ones: nutritional and psychosocial. From a nutritional point of view, it is known that children suffering from food allergy have a growth delay in height and weight compared to their non-allergic peers. Specifically, this condition is directly related to the specific food excluded from the diet, the number of foods excluded and the duration of the elimination diet. From a psychosocial point of view, the child often cannot eat the foods other guests eat. Children with food allergy may perceive an aura of parental anxiety around their mealtime and may be afraid that what they eat could have harmful consequences for their health. Furthermore, children’s and their parents’ quality of life appears to be affected. The need to manage the allergy and the nutritional and psychosocial problems positions the pediatric nutritionist and the child neuropsychiatrist as support figures for the pediatric allergist in managing the child with food allergy.
