“Biologic Therapies for Pediatric Asthma, Allergies, and Eczema”

Presented by: Rebecca Saenz, MD

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

Stanford Medical Center

Planners expect learners to:

1. Diagnose notable (and board-testable) side effects of biologics for asthma, allergies, and eczema, such as parasitic infection risks with anti-IL-5 agents and conjunctivitis with dupilumab.

2. Identify new biologics approved for pediatric atopic dermatitis, CSU, food allergies, and more.

3. Describe which biologics generally require referral to a specialist, and which might be prescribed by a general pediatrician.  Dr. Saenz is an employee of Genentech. There will be no CME.
