  • Up to 22% of European children have an allergy, with serious reaction to food on the rise

    Zurich, Switzerland 07.04.2014

    – Anaphylaxis is increasingly found in allergic reactions in children, primarily caused by food allergies in this population group: up to 22% of European children have an allergy, with serious reaction to food on the rise1. The severity of its effects, which can be fatal, demands the attention not only of allergologists but of all healthcare professionals. This is one of the most important messages found in advance of the new guidelines on anaphylaxis on which the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is currently working.

  • More than 7% of the general population are affected by drug allergy reactions, involving excessive cost for the healthcare system

    Berne (Switzerland), April 14th 2014 – Drug Hypersensitivity Reactions (DHRs) affect 7% of the general population and represent a major health problem, as they can be life-threatening and require or prolong hospitalisation. Furthermore, both underdiagnosis (as they are insufficiently detected) and overdiagnosis (due to excessive use of the term “allergy”) are common in clinical practice, and this can lead to the prescription of more expensive or less effective drugs.

  • 9 out of 10 people die of a chronic disease in Europe
