Food allergy in children is increasing and the perception of food allergy among parents is even more common. In a questionnaire-based study of 702 children aged 6 to 48 months in four primary care settings, the aim was to determine the prevalence of perception vs. proven food allergy, parental anxiety and general pediatrician knowledge of food allergy. In 95/702 children (13.5%) parentally-repo...

Objectives: In recent decades, the prevalence of allergic diseases, including food allergy, has been increasing. This is becoming an important health problem. Many risk factors of food allergy were identified recently, and many of them still are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential risk factors of food allergy in child population following the methodology of the Eu...

Penicillin allergy remains the most common drug allergy, with a reported prevalence of 10% in the United States. Epidemiology of penicillin allergy in outpatient populations is relatively scarce. This study sought to determine the prevalence and characteristics of reported penicillin allergy in an urban outpatient population and to identify trends in clinical evaluation and management from a te...

BACKGROUND Pediatric food allergy is a serious health problem in the United States. As the number of affected children increases, more caregivers are charged with the responsibility of managing their child's food allergy. OBJECTIVE To better understand the impact of pediatric food allergy on caregiver quality of life. METHODS As part of a larger project examining the knowledge, attitudes, a...

History of the World Allergy Organization: In 1951, the leaders in allergy from all over the world came together to form the International Association of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (IAACI). For the next 60 years, the allergy world converged at the IAACI triennial meetings, which became biennial in 2003. The international meetings, originally named the International Congress of Allergol...

Introduction: Allergy to nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) is the main cause of plant-food allergy in Spain. nsLTPs are widely distributed plant kingdom and have high cross-reactivity but extremely variable clinical expression. Little known about natural evolution this allergy, which complicates management. The objective study was assess development new foods nsLTP-sensitized patients ...

Food allergy is a significant public health problem with limited treatment options. As Allergy Herbal Formula 2 (FAHF-2) showed potential for food treatment, we further developed purified version named EBF2 and identified active compounds. We investigated the mechanisms of on IgE-mediated peanut (PN) its compound, berberine, IgE production.
