    Abstract Primary immunodeficiencies are rare but are often on the differential diagnosis list when patients present with recurrent or atypical infections. Patients with primary immunodeficiencies can present with a variety of symptoms and can present providers with diagnostic challenges given this variability, and the severe implications of immunodeficiencies can sometimes lead providers to pursue broad workups that may not be necessary. However, there are certain symptom patterns providers can look out for and diagnostic steps that can be taken to triage these presentations. We have used the practice modeled in the "Five Fingers of the Immune Workup" to outline common laboratory tests for clinicians to order when they are concerned for immunodeficiencies while remembering that these diagnoses are often rare, and true concern for this pathology would warrant referral to a specialist.

    Abstract Food allergy is an increasingly common disease that often starts in early childhood and lasts throughout life. Self-reported food allergy has risen at a rate of 1.2% per decade since 1988, and by 2018, the prevalence of food allergy in the United States was estimated to be 8% in children and 11% in adults.

    Abstract Background: Epinephrine is underused in the treatment of anaphylaxis, despite being the first-line treatment, which reflects the challenges in diagnosing anaphylaxis and understanding the appropriate therapy.
    Objective: To describe trends in epinephrine administration for patients visiting the pediatric emergency department (ED) with food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) from 2007 to 2015.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included children 0 to 17 years of age with FIA from 46 children's hospitals in the United States between 2007 and 2015. Multivariable regression was used to identify factors associated with epinephrine administration.
    Results: A total of 15,318 cases of FIA cases were seen in the pediatric EDs from 2007 to 2015. Among these ED visits, 7,600 (49.6%) had at least 1 dose of epinephrine administered in the ED. Administration of epinephrine for anaphylaxis in the pediatric ED increased by 4% each year (odds ratio [OR] 1.04; 95% CI 1.03-1.05; P < .001). Sensitivity analysis by census region demonstrated that hospitals in the Northeast and the West were associated with an increase in epinephrine administration per year (Northeast OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.13-1.22, P < .001; West OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.10-1.18, P < .001).
    Conclusions: Epinephrine administration for FIA in the pediatric ED has increased over time, reflecting the need for continued advocacy for the optimal management of FIA. Further research is warranted to identify optimal strategies for proper recognition and early administration of epinephrine for anaphylaxis.

    Abstract Angioedema is an increasing cause of hospitalizations in the United States. This syndrome presents with non-pitting, asymmetric swelling of the face, lips, tongue, larynx, genitalia, and extremities, although any part of the body can be involved. Common causes of angioedema include allergic reactions and ACE inhibitors. Hereditary angioedema is a rare form of angioedema that can be diagnosed by screening with a C4 level. In 2009, three new treatments for hereditary angioedema were approved for use in the United States, revolutionizing management of this rare disease.

    Abstract In recent years there has been increasing recognition of varying asthma phenotypes that impact treatment response. This has led to the development of biological therapies targeting specific immune cells and cytokines in the inflammatory cascade. Currently, there are two primary asthma phenotypes, Type 2 hi and Type 2 lo, which are defined by eosinophilic and neutrophilic/pauci- granulocytic pattern of inflammation respectively. Most biologics focus on Type 2 hi asthma, including all four biologics approved for treatment of uncontrolled asthma in the United States - omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, and benralizumab. Potential new targets for drug development are being investigated, such as IL-13, IL-4α receptor, CRTH2, TSLP, IL-25, IL-13, IL-17A receptor, and CXCR2/IL-8. This review will discuss the role of these molecules on the inflammatory response in uncontrolled asthma and the emerging biologics that address them. Through the delineation of distinct immunological mechanisms in severe asthma, targeted biologics are promising new therapies that have the potential to improve asthma control and quality of life.
