Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) have been observed with the use of biologics in children. The management of HSRs in children is mainly based on experiences from the adult population. Recently, data from different centers experienced in managing these reactions, including desensitization in children, have been published, allowing clinicians to have an appropriate global overview and compare results. AREAS COVERED This review highlights the published data on hypersensitivity reactions to biologics in children and drug desensitization protocols adapted to the pediatric population. EXPERT OPINION With regard to HSRs to biologics in children, few data are available. Compared with the adult population, there is a lack of knowledge in the endophenotypes, management and the standardization of protocols including premedication regimens in children. An international consensus is needed to provide clinicians with new insight on how to apply personalized management and to perform tailored desensitization protocols in pediatric populations. Various specialists including allergists, pediatricians, oncologists, hematologists, rheumatologists, and pharmacists, should build a multidisciplinary management team to keep pediatric patients on their best treatment options in the safest manner.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The use of biologic therapies has risen exponentially over recent years, allowing for unprecedented disease control within numerous areas of Allergy/Immunology. With this expanded use, awareness and understanding of adverse reactions to biologic agents have also increased. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple biologic adverse reaction phenotypes have been described, but significant overlap in clinical features across phenotypes exists. Given considerable phenotypic overlap, a targeted testing approach may not always be clear, and more recent classifications focus on management decision making using tools of diagnostic challenges and rapid drug desensitizations, guiding clinicians in developing a management plan when the exact underlying mechanism is not clearly known. With increased clinical experience with omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab, tezepelumab, rituximab, and TNF-inhibitors, there is a growing appreciation to the spectrum and particularities of adverse reactions to these agents which are outlined in this review. Our understanding of the clinical presentation and management of adverse reactions to biologic medications encountered in Allergy/Immunology has grown. Opportunities remain to further define optimal diagnostic and management strategies for these reactions.

Abstract
Injection site reactions (ISRs) are a local phenomenon defined as a constellation of symptoms, including swelling, erythema, pruritus, and pain around the site of injection. This article reviews the different aspects of ISRs, including their epidemiology and pathogenesis, and provides practical guidance to diagnose and treat such reactions. More focus is given to food and drug administration (FDA)-approved biological agents and biosimilars, which are licensed mainly for the treatment of dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. ISRs are major complications of all FDA-approved self-injectable biological agents, both in adults and children, with studies showing an incidence rate of 0.5-40%. The article emphasizes that ISRs are not correlated with drug efficacy or development of antidrug antibodies. Therefore, misunderstanding of the pathophysiology of the ISRs, most of them not being allergic or immunogenic reactions, might result in unnecessary discontinuation of the treatment. Almost all local reactions to subcutaneously administered biological agents can be prevented by changing the injection techniques, patient education, and training.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, but may exhibit extra-articular, including cutaneous, manifestations such as rheumatoid nodules, rheumatoid vasculitis, granulomatous skin disorders, and neutrophilic dermatoses. A large burden of cutaneous disease may be an indication of RA disease activity and the need for more aggressive treatment. Many of the therapeutic agents used to treat RA can also result in cutaneous adverse effects, which pose their own diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Anti-TNFα agents, in particular, have a wide variety of adverse effects including psoraisiform eruptions, granulomatous conditions, and cutaneous connective tissue disorders. Herein we provide an update on the clinical presentations and management of RA-associated cutaneous findings as well as drug-induced cutaneous effects, with particular attention to the adverse effects of biologic disease-modifying agents.

Abstract
Biologics are a group of drugs that precisely affect certain specific steps in the immune response and are an extremely useful group when used in an appropriate setting. However, their use can often be a double-edged sword. Careful patient selection and thorough knowledge of adverse effects is a key to their successful use in various disorders. The initial enthusiasm has gradually given way to a more cautious approach wherein a balance is sought between clinical usefulness and expected side effects. The adverse effects of the biologics most commonly used in dermatology have been carefully listed for ready reference. The plausible causes of the adverse reactions are succinctly outlined along with their incriminating factor(s). Besides, in brief, the attention has been focused on their management. The content should provide an essential didactic content for educating the practitioner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) biologic agents have been associated with a number of adverse events. OBJECTIVE To review the cutaneous reactions that have been reported in patients receiving anti-TNF therapy. METHODS We performed a systematic MEDLINE search of relevant publications, including case reports and case series. RESULTS Reported cutaneous events included infusion and injection site reactions, psoriasiform eruptions, lupus-like disorders, vasculitis, granulomatous reactions, cutaneous infections, and cutaneous neoplasms. Infusion reactions and injection site reactions were definitely associated with anti-TNF administration, whereas all other events had a varying strength of association and severity, not necessarily requiring drug discontinuation. LIMITATIONS Most information was derived from spontaneous case reports, where ascertainment biases and frequency of reporting may impair detection methodology and causal relationships. CONCLUSIONS As anti-TNF biologic agents are progressively being used in clinical practice, cutaneous adverse events will be encountered more frequently. Until more data are accumulated with respect to their pathogenesis and potential association with anti-TNF therapy, dermatologists should become more familiar with the clinical presentation and management of such events.
