Cover Story: Peanut allergy diagnosis is evolving, with advanced technologies that improve specificity and sensitivity while reducing patient risk. Traditional diagnostic methods such as skin prick tests and serum IgE testing have limitations, including false positives and variability. Emerging techniques, including component-resolved diagnostics, basophil activation tests, molecular allergy diagnostics, and artificial intelligence, offer a more precise, personalized approach. These innovations provide better risk stratification, guide treatment decisions, and may replace time-intensive oral food challenges. As peanut allergy prevalence rises, improved diagnostics will be crucial for patient safety and quality of life. View this paper
