PPT-Allergy Awareness & EpiPen Use

Common allergies in children Tree Nuts Milk Egg Peanut Bananas Pollen Soy Shellfish Latex Fish Wheat Animal Dander What is an allergy An allergy is an abnormal response to a normal substance. Immunotherapy is widely used by allergy specialists because it treats the underlying cause of allergic reactions instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms. Immunotherapy is designed to gradually desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. Patients receive small doses of a specific allergen(s) – not enough to cause a full-blown allergic reaction, but enough to build up a tolerance. Immunotherapy can potentially lead to remission of allergy symptoms, even after discontinuing treatment. Presentation to HL7 Patient Care WG .
