Abstract
Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare, non-immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated gastrointestinal food hypersensitivity. It is a clinical diagnosis commonly characterized by profuse vomiting 1 to 4 hours after ingestion of the triggering food(s). Objective: The objective was to increase awareness of FPIES and review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of FPIES. The lack of availability of a definite biomarker or diagnostic tool often leads to a delay in diagnosis. Methods: A literature search of salient articles that described case reports and case series of FPIES and their management were analyzed. Results: A case of FPIES with a literature review is presented with emphasis on clinical pearls and pitfalls. FPIES is a diagnosis of exclusion and the mainstay of treatment is avoidance of the trigger food(s) for at least 12-18 months from the last exposure. Conclusion: As FPIES is a non-IgE-mediated reaction, allergy testing via skin-prick test or blood tests to measure food IgE antibodies is not routinely recommended. Many children outgrow FPIES by 3-4 years of age. Supervised oral food challenge is recommended to assess acquisition of tolerance.

Abstract
Immune responses to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines in primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) are largely unknown. We investigated antibody and CD4+ T-cell responses specific for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) before and after vaccination and associations between vaccine response and patients' clinical and immunological characteristics in PADs. The PAD cohort consisted of common variable immune deficiency (CVID) and other PADs, not meeting the criteria for CVID diagnosis (oPADs). Anti-S IgG, IgA, and IgG subclasses 1 and 3 increased after vaccination and correlated with neutralization activity in HCs and patients with oPADs. However, 42% of CVID patients developed such responses after the 2nd dose. A similar pattern was also observed with S-specific CD4+ T-cells as determined by OX40 and 4-1BB expression. Patients with poor anti-S IgG response had significantly lower levels of baseline IgG, IgA, CD19+ B-cells, switched memory B-cells, naïve CD8+ T-cells, and a higher frequency of EM CD8+ T-cells and autoimmunity compared to patients with adequate anti-S IgG responses. Patients with oPADs can develop humoral and cellular immune responses to vaccines similar to HCs. However, a subset of CVID patients exhibit impairment in developing such responses, which can be predicted by the baseline immune profile and history of autoimmunity.
