Child Care Conference Lecture-Food Allergy Testing

On May 19th, 2010 I participated in the Child Care Conference. This has been a Riley tradition for many years. My colleague in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Dr. Sandeep Gupta put this idea together on ‘Puzzling, Perplexing, Problematic Allergies in Children. He wanted pediatric allergy, dermatology, and gastroenterology to present together issues common to each specialty that have been problems for practitioners. Dr. Jeffery Travers spoke on Atopic Dermatitis. Dr. Gupta spoke on Eosinophilic Esophagitis, and I spoke on Allergy Testing- specifically allergy testing for food.

When the presentations were finished, we had a panel discussion and took questions from the audience. This 20 minute Q & A went close to 45 minutes.

I have linked to Google Documents this presentation. It is entitled ‘Allergy Testing and Referral to the Allergist’.  This presentation was completed in April. You will notice slides with red titles. It has been a rule for speakers, especially in Continuing Medical Education (CME) offerings to not make changes. An article in JAMA was published the week prior to this presentation. In an attempt to provide the 50 learners at the seminar with the most up-to-date information, I quickly added these slides.

The reference list for the presentation (Food Allergy Testing Reference List)  is also available via a link to google documents.
