ModernMedicine highlights CME activities from the 2010 meeting of The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI)--a straightforward assay to pinpoint children with milk allergies, the use of oral immunotherapy to desensitize kids, and the impact maternal diet may have in forestalling pediatric food allergy onset. We conclude with in-depth discussions on differential diagnosis of adverse food reaction and food allergy; the latter features a customizable form from The Food Allergy Network to document an emergency plan for the family of the food-allergic child.

• 4 CME Activities from the AAAAI

• Rates of reported food allergies in kids have increased
• Kids keep food allergies longer
• Physicians found to have a fair knowledge of food allergies
