Post‑COVID surge in rashes mimicking penicillin allergy A new study highlights an increase in rashes during Group A #StreptococcusInfections that closely resemble delayed #penicillin allergy in children. ✔️ 70 children with lab‑confirmed #GABHSinfections ✔️ Rashes appeared ~7 days after starting penicillin ✔️ Maculopapular rash: 61% | Urticarial rash: 39% ✔️ 90% had negative drug provocation tests ✔️ No systemic reactions — only mild, manageable #skinsymptoms Takeaway: Many GABHS‑related rashes mimic penicillin allergy but are not true allergies, reinforcing the importance of proper evaluation before labeling a child as penicillin‑allergic. .

Tree pollen allergies are becoming more important to recognize and manage as patterns continue to shift across regions and seasons. Interesting insights on how targeted allergy testing can help providers deliver more personalized care and improve quality of life for patients. 🌿

Seasonal allergy symptoms don’t always point to a clear cause, making it hard to know which allergens to test. Regional respiratory allergen profiles help align testing to real environmental exposure, supporting more accurate diagnosis, asthma care, and quality measures while avoiding unnecessary testing.

Did you catch Professor Helen Brough on @itvnews last week? 📺 With pollen counts soaring across the UK, Professor Brough sat down with Nina Hossain to discuss the severe impact hay fever is having on children this season, and the exciting developments in long-term treatments. As Professor Brough explains, the NHS now has highly effective, licensed immunotherapy (desensitisation) treatments for major allergy triggers like grass pollen, birch pollen, and house dust mite. Over-the-counter antihistamines aren't always enough to control symptoms. If you or your child is struggling to sleep or focus at school/work due to hay fever or allergic asthma, it might be time to look at Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) to target the root cause of the allergy. 🌿Following on from #AllergyAwarenessWeek, it’s a great reminder that better understanding and managing allergies can make a real difference to children’s daily lives, especially during high pollen seasons. 🔗 Visit https://bit.ly/3OPNRjy to learn more about specialist hay fever treatments and how they can help your child enjoy the spring and summer with fewer symptoms and less need for medication!
