Dr Clive Grattan explored chronic urticaria’s mast cell–driven pathogenesis and key CSU endotypes . He highlighted exciting advances with omalizumab, remibrutinib, barzolvolimab, and dupilumab, each showing promising, distinct mechanisms in controlling refractory disease.

Dr Brockow talked about WALDA (wheat allergy dependent on augmentation factors). cofactors: exercise, strong alcohol, less often aspirin. HWP in cosmetics may trigger later WALDA. Management: education, adrenaline, and gluten avoidance for 4 hours after the cofactors.

Dr Isabel Skypala highlighted hidden allergens (milk, sunflower seed, insects, pancakes, pasta/pizza, hemp) in idiopathic anaphylaxis. Cofactors like exercise, alcohol, and wheat amplify reactions. Never dismiss food allergy, even if it seems unlikely.

Dr. Madrigal discussed drug allergy mimics—including CSU, ILO, psychogenic reactions, and infections like Strongyloides mimicking DRESS. Accurate, phenotype-driven evaluation and allergist involvement prevent misdiagnosis, unnecessary avoidance, and optimize patient care.

Dr. Kolkhir discussed IgE- and MRGPRX2-mediated reactions: IgE drives autoantibodies in AD/CSU; drug allergy testing is limited, often needing provocation. MRGPRX2 causes injection-site/anaphylactoid reactions. Anti-IgE therapy may aid drug administration.

Dr. Ian Sinha, a paediatric respiratory consultant, stressed how housing and environment affect our health — and can be deadly. He cited the tragic death in Lythgoe, UK: “We felt like the air in our homes was killing us, but we were told we were ‘breathing too much.’”
