Bartra J, Turner PJ, Muñoz-Cano RM. Cofactors in food anaphylaxis in adults. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2023; 130:733-740. [PMID: 36958469 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2023.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023]
Abstract
Around 25% to 50% of food-induced allergic reactions in adults cause anaphylaxis, and epidemiologic evidence suggests that food is the most common cause of anaphylaxis. Reaction severity is unpredictable, and patients will often experience reactions of variable severity, even to an identical exposure (both dose and allergen). A common explanation for this phenomenon has been the impact of "cofactors"-factors that might contribute to reaction severity independent of the allergen exposure. Cofactors can influence reaction severity in 2 ways: either by reducing the reaction threshold (ie, the dose needed to trigger any symptoms) so that patients have no symptoms in the absence of the cofactor and only react with the cofactor present, or by increasing reaction severity such that individuals have only mild symptoms in the absence of the cofactor, but a more severe reaction when the cofactor is present. Indeed, the same patient may have reactions with different cofactors or even need more than one cofactor to develop a severe reaction. Cofactors reportedly play a role in approximately 30% of anaphylaxis reactions in adults. Exercise, nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol, and sleep deprivation are the most frequent cofactors reported. Routine evaluation of the possible involvement of cofactors is essential in managing patients with food anaphylaxis: in patients with a suggestive history but a negative oral food challenge, cofactors should be taken into account to provide appropriate advice to reduce the risk of future anaphylaxis.

Food-Dependent Exercise-Induced Wheals, Angioedema, and Anaphylaxis: A Systematic Review. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. IN PRACTICE 2022; 10:2280-2296.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food-dependent exercise-induced wheals, angioedema, and anaphylaxis remain insufficiently characterized. OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed the literature on clinical manifestations, laboratory investigations, culprit foods, triggering exercise, comorbidities, and treatment outcomes. METHODS Using predefined search terms and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations, we searched 3 electronic databases to identify relevant literature published before July 2021. RESULTS Of 722 patients (median age 25 years; 55.4% male) from 231 studies (43 cohort studies, 15 cases series, and 173 case reports), 79.6% and 3.7% had anaphylaxis with and without wheals and/or angioedema, respectively. The remaining 16.6% had wheals and/or angioedema without anaphylaxis. The duration from eating to exercising and from exercising to symptom onset ranged from 5 minutes to 6 hours (median 1 hour) and from 5 minutes to 5 hours (median 30 minutes), respectively, and virtually all patients exercised within 4 hours after eating and developed symptoms within 1 hour after exercising. Wheat was the most common culprit food. Running was the most common trigger exercise. Most patients were atopic, and 1 in 3 had a history of urticaria. Aspirin and wheat-based products were the most frequent augmenting factors. On-demand antihistamines, corticosteroids, and epinephrine were commonly used and reported to be effective. Patients who stopped eating culprit foods before exercise no longer developed food-dependent exercise-induced allergic reactions. CONCLUSIONS Food-dependent exercise-induced allergic reactions are heterogeneous in their clinical manifestations, triggers, and response to treatment. Patients benefit from avoidance of culprit foods before exercise, which highlights the need for allergological diagnostic workup and guidance.

Abstract
Cofactors may explain why in some cases food ingestion leads to anaphylaxis while in others elicits a milder reaction or tolerance. With cofactors, reactions become more severe and/or have a lower allergen threshold. Cofactors are present in up to 58% of food anaphylaxis (FAn). Exercise, NSAIDs, and alcohol are the most frequently described, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly known. Several hypotheses have suggested the influence of these cofactors on basophils and mast cells (MCs). Exercise has been suggested to enhance MC activation by increasing plasma osmolarity, redistributing blood flow, and activating adenosine and eicosanoid metabolism. NSAIDs’ cofactor effect has been related with cyclooxygenase inhibition and therefore, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. Indeed, overexpression of adenosine receptor 3 (A3) gene has been described in NSAID-dependent FAn; A3 activation potentiates FcϵRI-induced MC degranulation. Finally, alcohol has been related with an increase of histamine levels by inhibition of diamino oxidase (DAO) and also with and increase of extracellular adenosine by inhibition of its uptake. However, most of these mechanisms have limited evidence, and further studies are urgently needed. In conclusion, the study of the immune-related mechanisms involved in food allergic reactions enhanced by cofactors is of the utmost interest. This knowledge will help to design both tailored treatments and prophylactic strategies that, nowadays, are non-existent.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The following article provides an overview of food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FD-EIAn). The review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical findings of FD-EIAn and details current practice in terms of the investigation, management, and treatment options available. RECENT FINDINGS The management of FD-EIAn has not changed significantly over the last few years and still requires careful investigation by an experienced clinician to ensure that the correct diagnosis is made and appropriate treatment is given. Although new therapies such as synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogs and IgE monoclonal antibodies have been trialed as treatment options for FD-EIAn, the mainstay of treatment remains the graded reintroduction to exercise in a supervised setting. SUMMARY FD-EIAn is a rare but serious condition that can have a significant impact on patients' lives. This review aims to discuss new relevant research into this field to help guide clinicians in managing this condition.

Abstract
Introduction: Food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is a rare type of anaphylaxis with a growing incidence. Although the precise mechanism by which the patient reacts only in a combination of a culprit food and cofactors are not currently understood, many advances in diagnosis and management have been made since their first description. Areas covered: A literature search in PubMed was performed to review the diagnosis and management of FDEIA. Clinicians should have a high level of suspicion for identification of the culprit foods and the cofactors involved. Component-resolved diagnosis and more accurate provocation tests have revolutionized the diagnosis accuracy. Management is not easy and involves educating the patient to evict the combination of exposure to the culprit foods and the cofactors that elicit anaphylaxis, and how to act and treat if a reaction occurs. Expert opinion: FDEIA is currently misdiagnosed and the authors believe that there are many FDEIA patients labelled as idiopathic anaphylaxis with unnecessary evictions and with a poor quality of life because of the fear of an imminent reaction. Due to recent advances in diagnostic tools and the use of monoclonal antibodies for prophylaxis in persistent cases, FDEIA can have a better prognosis improving the quality of life of the patients and their families.

Abstract
Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIAn), first reported in 1979, is a condition defined by the consumption of a trigger food with temporally related exercise that results in an immediate hypersensitivity (type 1) reaction in the setting of the trigger food being tolerated independent of exercise and exercise being tolerated in the absence of trigger food consumption. The most common trigger food in the west is wheat and shellfish in Asia. The exact mechanism of FDEIAn is unknown, though several hypotheses exist. Cofactors such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, alcohol consumption and others have been associated with reported cases.

Abstract
Food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis is a disorder in which anaphylaxis develops most predictably during exercise, when exercise takes place within a few hours of ingesting a specific food. IgE to that food should be demonstrable. It is the combination of the food and exercise that precipitates attacks, whereas the food and exercise are each tolerated independently. Recently, it was demonstrated that exercise is not essential for the development of symptoms, and that if enough of the culprit food is ingested, often with additional augmentation factors, such as alcohol or acetylsalicylic acid, symptoms can be induced at rest in the challenge setting. Thus, food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis appears to be more correctly characterized as a food allergy syndrome in which symptoms develop only in the presence of various augmentation factors, with exercise being the primary one. However, additional factors are not usually present when the patient exercises normally, so ongoing investigation is needed into the physiologic and cellular changes that occur during exercise to facilitate food-induced anaphylaxis.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is an acute and life-threatening systemic reaction. Many triggers have been described, including food, drug, and hymenoptera allergens, which are the most frequently involved. The mechanisms described in anaphylactic reactions are complex and implicate a diversity of pathways. Some of these mechanisms may be key to the development of the anaphylactic reaction, while others may only modify its severity. Although specific IgE, mast cells, and basophils are considered the principal players in anaphylaxis, alternative mechanisms have been proposed in non-IgE anaphylactic reactions. Neutrophils, macrophages, as well as basophils, have been involved, as have IgG-dependent, complement and contact system activation. A range of cationic substances can induce antibody-independent mast cells activation through MRGPRX2 receptor. Cofactors and augmenting factors may explain why, in some patients, food allergen exposure can cause anaphylaxis, while in other clinical scenario it can be tolerated or elicits a mild reaction. With the influence of these factors, food allergic reactions may be induced at lower doses of allergen and/or become more severe. Exercise, alcohol, estrogens, and some drugs such as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, β-blockers, and lipid-lowering drugs are the main factors described, though their mechanisms and signaling pathways are poorly understood.

Pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise-induced anaphylaxis: an EAACI position statement. Allergy 2015; 70:1212-21. [PMID: 26100553 DOI: 10.1111/all.12677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/16/2015] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
This document is the result of a consensus on the mechanisms of exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIAn), an unpredictable and potentially fatal syndrome. A multidisciplinary panel of experts including exercise physiologists, allergists, lung physicians, paediatricians and a biostatistician reached the given consensus. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIAn) describes a rare and potentially fatal syndrome in which anaphylaxis occurs in conjunction with exercise. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying EIAn have not yet been elucidated although a number of hypotheses have been proposed. This review evaluates the validity of each of the popular theories in relation to exercise physiology and immunology. On the basis of this evidence, it is concluded that proposed mechanisms lack validity, and it is recommended that a global research network is developed with a common approach to the diagnosis and treatment of EIAn in order to gain sufficient power for scientific evaluation.

Serum gliadin monitoring extracts patients with false negative results in challenge tests for the diagnosis of wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Allergol Int 2013; 62:229-38.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Challenge testing with wheat plus exercise and/or aspirin is a gold standard for the diagnosis of wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA); however, the test may often yield false-negative results. Our previous study suggested that an increase in serum wheat gliadin levels is required to induce allergic symptoms in patients with WDEIA. Based on this knowledge, we sought to extract the patients with false negative results in the challenge tests of WDEIA. METHODS Thirty-six patients with suspected WDEIA were enrolled. First, group categorizations-Group I, challenge tests were positive; Group II, challenge tests were negative and serum gliadin were undetectable; Group III, challenge tests were negative and serum gliadin were detectable-were given according to the results of wheat plus exercise and/or aspirin challenge testing and serum gliadin levels. Second, diagnoses were made using retests and/or dietary management in Group II and III. RESULTS Positive results for wheat plus exercise and/or aspirin challenge tests gave a diagnosis of definite WDEIA in 17 of 36 patients (Group I). Of the remaining 19 challenge negative patients, serum gliadin was undetectable in ten patients (Group II). Of the ten patients (Group II), three of them were diagnosed as definite WDEIA by retesting and six of them were diagnosed as probable WDEIA using a wheat elimination diet, whereas one patient was non-WDEIA. In the rest of the nine challenge negative patients, serum gliadin was detectable (Group III). No allergic episodes with a normal diet provided a diagnosis of non-WDEIA in seven of the nine patients, whereas the remaining two patients were probable WDEIA or had another food allergy because of repeated episodes. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that serum gliadin monitoring during challenge testing is useful.

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis: a case report and review of the diagnosis and treatment of a rare but potentially life-threatening syndrome. Case Rep Med 2013; 2013:610726.

Abstract
A 24-year-old male Marine with an uncomplicated medical history and a long history of strenuous, daily exercise presented to the emergency department after experiencing anaphylactic shock while running. Symptoms resolved following administration of intramuscular diphenhydramine, ranitidine, intravenous methylprednisolone, and intravenous fluids. On followup in the allergy clinic, a meticulous clinical history was obtained which elucidated a picture consistent with exercise-induced anaphylaxis. He had experienced diffuse pruritus and urticaria while exercising on multiple occasions over the last three years. His symptoms would usually increase as exercise continued. Prior to the first episode, he regularly exercised without symptoms. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is a rare but potentially life-threatening syndrome that requires a careful clinical history and is a diagnosis of exclusion. Treatment is primarily exercise avoidance. Prophylactic mediations are inconsistently effective but are empirically used. Successful treatment with omalizumab was recently reported in a case of refractory exercise-induced anaphylaxis.
