The editors of Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs would like to inform the readers that “Promising treatments in development for food allergies” by Fabienne Rancé (EMD 2004;9(2):257–268) has been withdrawn due to significant duplication of previously published material.
It was highlighted to the editors that the content of this article was very similar to a previously published manuscript, “Future therapeutic options in food allergy” published in Allergy, Volume 58, May 2003, pp. 1217-1223 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14616094, which was confirmed on investigation by the editors of this journal.
Unfortunately the author passed away in 2011, before the duplication was noted, and so could not comment.
