nut hypersensitivity/vomiting

OBJECTIVE To compare findings of tests for nut allergy in children. METHODS Retrospective survey of a clinical practice protocol. METHODS Children's hospital paediatric outpatient clinic. METHODS 96 children referred by general practitioners and accident and emergency doctors over 27 months

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

Food allergies often develop after liver transplant, especially in young children. However, data are scarce on clinical characteristics and patient outcomes. When we evaluated our pediatric liver transplant patients over a 16-year period, food allergy incidence was 8% (19/236 patients). All patients

BACKGROUND Animal models are needed that mimic human IgE-mediated peanut and tree nut allergy. Atopic dogs have been previously used in a model of food allergy to cow's milk, beef, wheat, and soy, with the demonstration of specific IgE production and positive oral challenges similar to those seen in

Food allergy is a growing concern, and recognition of symptoms, knowledge of common food allergens, and management of reactions are important for patients and practitioners. Symptoms of a classic IgE-mediated food allergy vary in severity and can include any combination of laryngeal edema, wheezing,

Background: The literature includes scarce data on infants with food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA). Materials and methods: Medical records of the patients diagnosed with FIA aged
