nut hypersensitivity/juglans regia

The present study focused on identifying the usual methods of cooking walnuts in order to investigate changes in walnut allergen activity caused by cooking and evaluated the allergenic changes in walnut proteins within raw, dry-fried and boiled walnuts. Previous studies have reported a decrease in

UNASSIGNED In developing countries, there is a lack of epidemiological information related to food hypersensitivity, including nuts and seafood. UNASSIGNED The aim was to determine the prevalence of allergic reactions and clinical manifestations associated with the consumption of nuts and seeds or

BACKGROUND Peanut and tree nut allergies can be life-threatening, and they appear to be growing in prevalence. Jug r 1, a 2S albumin seed storage protein, was previously characterized as a major English walnut food allergen. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify the linear IgE-binding epitopes of Jug r 1

Background: We previously devised an algorithm utilizing skin prick tests (SPT), basophil activation tests (BAT) and co-allergy status to reduce the need for oral food challenges (OFC) in 63 patients with suspected walnut/pecan

The diagnosis and management of nut allergy can be difficult because of the possible severity of the clinical manifestations and the cross reactivity between different species. We report a case of anaphylaxis due to skin testing in a young adult with clinically ascertained walnut allergy. After an

Food allergy affects many young children and tree nut allergy is accountable for a large number of severe, life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Cross-reactivity can occur not only with foods that are in the same biological family but also between certain fruits or vegetables and latex

BACKGROUND Two patients with tree nut allergy manifested by life-threatening systemic reactions reported the subsequent onset of systemic reactions after the consumption of coconut. OBJECTIVE Herein, the IgE-binding proteins from coconut are described, and in vitro cross-reactivity with other nuts

The diagnosis of food allergy is often difficult to make by conventional means. Histories are frequently ambiguous, and skin testing is of dubious reliability because of the number of false-positive and false-negative reactions. We have evaluated the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) for the in vitro

BACKGROUND Peanuts and tree nut allergies pose an increasing food safety problem. The aim of our study was to test the accuracy of different commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits in the detection of the presence of walnuts in untreated and heat exposed food samples. The effects

Tree nut allergy is a potentially life-threatening disease that is increasing in prevalence, now affecting 1% of the general population in the United States. While other food allergies often resolve spontaneously, tree nut allergies are outgrown in less than 10% of cases. Due to the likelihood of

BACKGROUND Component-based diagnosis on multiplex platforms is widely used in food allergy but its clinical performance has not been evaluated in nut allergy. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of a commercial protein microarray in the determination of specific IgE (sIgE) in peanut,

BACKGROUND Peanut and tree nut allergy are common, increasing in prevalence and the commonest food cause of anaphylaxis. In the USA, 7.8% are sensitized (have nut-specific IgE), but not all those sensitized are allergic. Lack of data makes interpretation of tests for nut-specific IgE
