Abstract Purpose of Review The recent introduction of edible insects in Western countries has raised concerns about their safety in terms of allergenic reactions. The characterization of insect allergens, the sensitization and cross-reactivity mechanisms, and the effects of food processing represent crucial information for risk assessment. Recent Findings Allergic reactions to different insects and cross-reactivity with crustacean and inhalant allergens have been described, with the identification of new IgE-binding proteins besides well-known pan-allergens. Depending on the route of sensitization, different potential allergens seem to be involved. Food processing may affect the solubility and the immunoreactivity of insect allergens, with results depending on species and type of proteins. Chemical/enzymatic hydrolysis, in some cases, abolishes immunoreactivity. Summary More studies based on subjects with a confirmed insect allergy are necessary to identify major and minor allergens and the role of the route of sensitization. The effects of processing need to be further investigated to assess the risk associated with the ingestion of insect-containing food products.

Answer Format

The chapter on allergy and immunology reviews the risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of atopic diseases and immunodeficiency diseases. The material is presented in an engaging clinical vignette and question-and-answer format. The key medical conditions covered in the chapter include allergic and atopic diseases such as asthma, food allergy, anaphylaxis, urticaria/angioedema, drug allergy, and stinging insect allergy; it also touches on rarer primary immunodeficiency diseases. It highlights key clinical features to enable differentiation of allergic disorders from their mimickers; it provides a diagnostic approach to evaluate primary immunodeficiency diseases, and it covers both acute/urgent and long-term disease management.
