How do the mechanism, risk factors, and available treatments for allergic reactions influence how allergies are managed and public health outcomes?
Started May 30, 2024
Abstract or project description
Allergies are defined as the immune system's adverse reaction to harmless substances. Allergies affect millions of people globally each year and can cause severe reactions that can result in death. This report discusses the mechanism of allergic reactions, the prevalence of different kinds of allergies, and the risk factors associated with allergy development. This review will also include the current solutions to allergies, including immunotherapy, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and emerging preventative treatments. We aim to provide practical guidance to patients and caregivers in the management of allergies with the ultimate goal of improving public health outcomes.
