40 had symptoms suggestive of AAN, and 21 had isolated urticaria (IU). Average age was the same in both groups (6.47 years vs. 6.07 years). In patients with AAN, the levels of serum tryptase were significantly higher (12.41 +/- 8.9 mu g/l) than those in cases of IU (5.55 +/- ...
Food allergies are quite common in Hong Kong. About five percent of infants suffer from food allergies. Hong Kong children with food allergies typically exhibit symptoms before the age of two, often when they try new foods. Common allergenic foods are milk, eggs, peanuts, and seafood. Some se...
From a professional standpoint, these findings align with the growing body of evidence suggesting that early intervention and modulation of the gut microbiome could prevent or mitigate the severity of food allergies. The study supports the notion of a “window of opportunity” in early childhood,...
signs and symptoms of allergic reactions, and seeking food allergy support groups. Searching for ways to treat allergic reactions as well as ways to prevent and test for food allergies were also common.
Children with food allergies or eczema typically have an increased risk of asthma and lower lung function.15-19 We hypothesize that, at least for some of these children, ambient pollen may especially cause airway obstruction owing to increased type 2 immune activation in the airways and/or ...
Currently, the mechanisms underlying sensory perception and sensory performance in children with food allergies are far from being understood. As well, only recently, single research afforded the oral host-commensal milieu, addressing oral microbial communities in children with peanut allergies. To bridge...
Two patients had a single food and 17 had multiple food allergies. Five patients showed only non㊣gE﹎ediated food allergies. Eggs, milk, nuts, and wheat were the most common allergens. Presenting symptoms included diarrhea, flushing, angioedema attacks, wheezing/chronic cough, and vomiting. ...
Finally, we found that parental gender moderated the relationship between childhood food allergy and the pressure to eat. Conclusions The paper contributes to the literature on food allergies among children and the marginalisation of families with allergies. Our explorative model is a first of its ...
Also note that food allergies are different from food intolerances, though they might have similar symptoms. That's because food intolerancesdon’t affect the immune system. "People with food intolerances are not able to digest certain foods because their bodies lack the specific enzyme needed to ...
The correlation of IgE measurements with presenting symptoms was conducted for each food in 172 children. Results Of 1,312 food-specific serum IgE measurements, 69.8% were positive. The median (interquartile range) IgE level for foods associated with the presenting complaint was 7.3 kU/L (2.7–...
