The Japanese Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Diseases 2013 (JAGL 2013) describes childhood asthma after the Japanese Pediatric Guideline for the Treatment and Management of Asthma 2012 (JPGL 2012) by the Japanese Society of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology. JAGL 2013 provides information on diagnosis by age group from infancy to puberty (0-15 years of age), treatment for acute exacerbations, long-term management by anti-inflammatory drugs, daily life guidance, and patient education to allow non-specialist physicians to refer to this guideline for routine medical treatment. JAGL differs from the Global Initiative for Asthma Guideline (GINA) in that JAGL emphasizes early diagnosis and intervention at <2 years and 2-5 years of age. A management method, including step-up or step-down of long-term management drugs based on the status of asthma control levels, as in JAGL, is easy to understand, and thus the Guideline is suitable as a frame of reference for routine medical treatment. JAGL has also introduced treatment and management using a control test on children, recommending that the physician aim at complete control by avoiding exacerbation factors and by appropriate use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Background: Hen's egg (HE) allergy develops during infancy. We investigated tolerance acquisition in Japanese children allergic to HE aging <6 years. Methods: In this retrospective study, 226 children born in 2005 with a history of immediate-type HE allergy underwent an oral food challenge (OFC). Tolerance was defined as no reaction to an OFC with half of whole heated HE or accidental HE consumption at home. Participants were divided into three groups based on age at tolerance acquisition: group I (<3 years) (n = 66), group II (3-6 years) (n = 98), and group III (prolonged allergic groups) (n = 62). Results: Tolerance acquisition occurred in 30% (66/226) by 3 years of age, 59% (133/226) by 5 years of age, and 73% (164/226) at 6 years of age. At 3 years, incidences of allergy-related complications (bronchial asthma, p = 0.02; atopic dermatitis, p = 0.04) were higher in the group III than in the group I. Anaphylaxis to any food occurred more frequently in the group III than in the group I (p = 0.03); anaphylaxis to HE was more common in the group III (p = 0.04). Egg white (EW)- and ovomucoid (OM)-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were higher in the group III than in the group I (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The group III experienced HE-related anaphylaxis and complications more frequently and exhibited sustained, high EW- and OM-specific IgE levels.
