ige- mediated food allergy affects 6-8% of children. our study aimed to define the correlations between the results obtained with skin prick tests (spts) using commercial extracts and fresh foods, and the correlations between these result and those obtained with specific ige (sige) and/ or challenge. children aged from 2 months to 6 years were recruited prospectively. overall 571 children were ...

background: evidence has shown a link between allergic disease and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds). we investigated food allergy in iranian pediatric ibd patients. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on a consecutive sample of children with newly  diagnosed ibd referring to mofid children’s university hospital in tehran (iran) between november 2013 and march 2015.dat...

BACKGROUND There are very few population-based studies investigating the incidence of food hypersensitivity during the first year of life. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of parentally reported food hypersensitivity and objectively diagnosed food hypersensitivity during the first year of life. METHODS A birth cohort was recruited (n = 969). At 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, information regard...

BACKGROUND The relationship between perceived food hypersensitivity in asthmatics, food allergen sensitization, asthma control and asthma-related quality of life has not been studied. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to study the prevalence of perceived food hypersensitivity in a cohort of young asthmatics, its relation to food allergen sensitization, and any correlation to asthma control and asthma-rel...

BACKGROUND Few population-based cohort studies have examined reported food hypersensitivity longitudinally. We investigated prevalence, incidence and remission of perceived food hypersensitivity among schoolchildren from 8 to 12 years of age, and risk factors associated with incidence and remission. METHODS A population-based cohort including all 7-8 year-old children in three Swedish towns w...

At present the only cure for food allergy is to avoid eating the food responsible for the allergy. Thus, food allergy or food hypersensitivity is a disease that is not only of concern to the individual who is affected but also to those involved directly and indirectly in supplying and preparing food for the food-allergic individual, and its impact on society should be evaluated on this basis. I...

BACKGROUND No longitudinal studies exist on the natural history of food hypersensitivity and IgE sensitisation to food allergens in adults. OBJECTIVE To examine the natural history of food hypersensitivity, the natural history of IgE sensitisation to food allergens and to investigate the risk factors for new onset food hypersensitivity. METHODS Food hypersensitivity was questionnaire-assess...

BACKGROUND While Health Related Quality of Life has been investigated among children with IgE-mediated food allergy, less is known about quality of life among children with other types of hypersensitivity to food. The aim of this study was to investigate Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) in children with and without food hypersensitivity. Further, we compared HRQL between children with diff...
