Allergy specialist Professor Susan Prescott gives her tips on how you can help prevent your child from developing a food allergy.
Peanut allergy is the most common childhood-onset, persistent food allergy. Peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a potential treatment, but few studies prospectively examine the outcome of peanut OIT in young children using parent-measured doses compared to standard care (peanut avoidance).
The high burden of peanut allergy underscores the need for treatment options that improve patient health-related quality of life (HRQL). However, the modifying effect of sex assigned at birth on treatment-related outcomes remains poorly understood. We sought to investigate whether sex modifies treatment effect on the change in overall and subdomain HRQL during the PPOIT-003 trial.
Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy
Epidemiological evidence from the past decade suggests a role of vitamin D in food allergy pathogenesis
Early life innate immune dysfunction may represent a key immunological driver and predictor of persistent food allergy in childhood
There was a significant improvement in the management of anaphylaxis after the introduction of intensified physician training programs
When an infant is developmentally ready, a variety of nutritious foods should be introduced including the ‘more allergenic’ foods during infancy
