P31 - Natural history of wheat allergy in Greek children

Methods We completed a retrospective medical record review of patients from the Allergy Clinic, 2nd Pediatric Clinic, University of Athens that were diagnosed as having wheat allergy. Patients were included in the study if they had a history of symptomatic reaction to wheat and or a positive wheat IgE test result. Clinical history, laboratory results, and final outcome were recorded for 70 patients. Resolution of wheat allergy was based on food challenge results. Total IgE, wheat IgE (f4), specific gluten IgE (f79) and the ratio f4/ lgE, (at presentation), were compared between children with active or resolved wheat allergy, 4 years after their first reaction, performing the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test.
