Quality of life in the setting of anaphylaxis and food allergy

---

Abstract  e diagnosis of a food allergy generally has a con-siderable impact on patients. Not does it result in dietary restrictions, it is o en also associated with a constant threat scenario, given the risk of sudden allergic reactions, including life-threatening ana-phylaxis. It is essential for patients to receive trai-ning on how to deal with emergency situations and make the correct decision regarding the use of emergency medication. Severe allergic reactions occur only rarely if patients are well informed. However, the fear of allergic reactions results in a signi cant impairment in quality of life (QoL).In recent years, numerous studies have been car-ried out on QoL in food-allergy and anaphylaxis patients.  ese studies provide insight into patient
behaviour in everyday life. More importantly, by means of targeted and speci c counselling, they also make it possible to reduce adverse e ects on QoL and improve avoidance behaviour and compli-ance in terms of the requisite emergency measures.  e present article summarizes the available data and formulates recommendations aimed at improv-ing the care of food-allergy patients in terms of QoL and compliance.
