A draft of the 2024 update was widely circulated, to incorporate feedback from community groups [16] and was published in April 2024 [16] using person-first language, [17] but was removed from the NIAID website shortly after the second inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2025, [18] with some commentators suggesting this is as a result of ...

Allergen immunotherapy, also known as desensitization or hypo-sensitization, is a medical treatment for environmental allergies (such as insect bites) and asthma. [1] [2] Immunotherapy involves exposing people to larger and larger amounts of allergens in an attempt to change the immune system's response.
Allergen of the Year is an annual "award" voted upon by the American Contact Dermatitis Society, aiming to raise awareness about common allergens. The purpose of the award is "to draw attention to the agents causing the most significant clinical effects, those that are underrecognized and those that have become obsolete or for which exposure patterns have changed".

[ 10 ] [ 42 ] Non-immune anaphylaxis is the current term, as of 2018, used by the World Allergy Organization [ 42 ] with some recommending that the old ...
Type IV hypersensitivity, in the Gell and Coombs classification of allergic reactions, often called delayed-type hypersensitivity, is a type of hypersensitivity reaction that can take a day or more to develop. [1] Unlike the other types, it is not humoral (not antibody-mediated) but rather is a type of cell-mediated response.
