Alpha-Gal Food Allergy

Alpha-gal sensitization did not appear prevalent among patients with chronic urticaria, with few patients experiencing clinically relevant alpha-gal allergy, according to a letter published in Clinical and Translational Allergy.

Omalizumab may effectively treat food allergy symptoms in patients with alpha-gal syndrome, according to research from a small study that was to be presented at the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology Annual Meeting.
