BACKGROUND Although peanut allergy may recur, the frequency with which this occurs is unknown. OBJECTIVE The goals of this study were to determine the rate of peanut allergy recurrence, identify risk factors for recurrent peanut allergy, and develop specific recommendations for the treatment of patients with resolved peanut allergy. METHODS Children who outgrew peanut allergy were evaluated...

in december 2015, the world health organization (who) published the first ever report on the estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, which included diseases related to chemical exposures in foods such as peanut allergy. in the report, the burden of disease related to peanut allergies was measured for the european, american and west pacific regions. the report showed that unlike ot...

Drought affects yield of peanut, but its effect on oleic and linoleic acids that influence its oil quality of peanut genotypes with different levels of drought resistance has not been clearly investigated. Therefore, the aims of this research were to determine whether soil water levels could affect oil quality by changes in fatty acid compositions of peanut, and to investigate the changes i...

Currently agriculture has difficulty keeping up with the demand for food around world, which generated a boom in development of sustainable alternatives producing and caring environment. Therefore, present study aims to show backyard system comprising 50 cm × pinewood boxes where maize peanut were tested under control compost conditions. The experiments carried out nine months starting from pro...

BACKGROUND Not all peanut-sensitized children develop allergic reactions on exposure. OBJECTIVE To establish by oral food challenge the proportion of children with clinical peanut allergy among those considered peanut-sensitized by using skin prick tests and/or IgE measurement, and to investigate whether component-resolved diagnostics using microarray could differentiate peanut allergy from t...

BACKGROUND Peanuts are one of the main food allergens, occasionally responsible for life-threatening reactions. Thus, many studies have tried to fi nd a connection between peanut allergy prevalence and processes in the peanut chain that may contribute to the peanut allergenicity. To inform this discussion, this paper outlines experiences in peanut cultivation, trade and processing in Europe, fo...

BACKGROUND The impact of maternal ingestion of peanut during pregnancy and lactation on an offspring's risk for peanut allergy is under debate. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of maternal dietary peanut exposure and breast milk on an offspring's allergy risk. METHODS Preconceptionally peanut-exposed C3H/HeJ females were either fed or not fed peanut during pregnancy and lactation. The...

Background: The importance of peanut allergy has not been well recognized in Japanese society. IgE antibody to peanut can be, however, detected in patients without clinical peanut allergy. Methods: Clinical characteristics of 14 patients (aged 1―8 years) with peanut allergy were evaluated. IgE antibodies to peanut from patients with and without clinical peanut allergy were compared with those t...

BACKGROUND Peanut allergy is typically severe, lifelong, and prevalent. OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with peanut sensitization. METHODS We evaluated 503 infants 3 to 15 months of age (mean, 9.4 months) with likely milk or egg allergy but no previous diagnosis of peanut allergy. A total of 308 had experienced an immediate allergic reaction to cow's milk and/or egg, and 204 had mo...
