“…46,47 In light of the general increase in IgE-dependent allergic disorders in the developed world over the past several decades, there is an urgent need to understand better the basic immunology and pathophysiology of anaphylaxis and to optimize therapy on the basis of well-controlled clinical trials. In addition, the characterization of clinical features and discovery of biomarkers that would identify patients at risk for anaphylaxis or for biphasic or prolonged severe reactions would greatly enhance the care of these patients, decrease patient and family anxieties, and reduce the risk of unfavorable outcomes.…”

“…In USA, an annual incidence of food anaphylaxis of 7.6 cases per 100,000 person-years and a food anaphylaxis occurrence rate of 10.8 per 100,000 person-years has been estimated (Yocum et al, 1999). According to this, in Norway we should expect some 400 incidents per year (resulting in 30-40 hospitalisations and 1-2 deaths).…”

SUMMARYThe Norwegian National Reporting System and Register of Severe Allergic Reactions to Food, or the Food Allergy Register, is a nation-wide, government-funded permanent reporting and registration system for severe allergic reactions to food. The Food Allergy Register collects information based on a one-page reporting form, serum samples for specific IgE analysis, and food samples for food allergen analysis. Reporting physicians receive in return an extensive commentary on the reported case and the relevant allergies, and results of the specific IgE analysis and food allergen analysis.The Food Allergy Register has, after being active for a little more than four years, given valuable information about several important aspects of food allergy in Norway. The Food Allergy Register has revealed food safety problems in relation to allergy that probably could be discovered only with the help of a systematic, nation-wide registration of cases. The reactions of peanut allergic individuals to lupine flour in bakery products is an example of how the Food Allergy Register is able to reveal potentially serious problems that would otherwise probably have gone unnoticed and certainly unexplained. The amount and the value of the information from the Food Allergy Register are increasing as new reports of more cases are added. The typical Norwegian patient with a severe allergic reaction to food appears to be a young adult, female rather than male. The offending meal is consumed at a restaurant or fast-food stand or in a private party away from home, and peanuts, nuts and shellfish are among the most common offending foods, while fish allergy appears to be rather rare.

“…About 1% of American population show reaction to peanuts [9]. Although peanuts is the most common allergen among nuts in most regions of the world, according to the results of this study, in Iranian children hazelnut is the most common allergen nuts and walnut was an important food allergen in children 1-3 years old, which considered to be in the third level after cow's milk and wheat flour, which may because of high consumption of this food stuff and also consumption of this nuts at early ages.…”

Introduction: Food allergy (FA) is heterogeneous disease, affecting multiple organs like skin, respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts, which have different forms from a local allergy to a systemic anaphylaxis. The prevalence of FA is about 4% among children in the world and the prevalence is increasing recently. Th2 and IgE-mediated reactions play an important role in this disease. In this study we determined the most common food allergens in children referred to Mofid Children's Hospital. Materials and methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on 396 patients with skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal allergies, which were referred to Mofid Children's Hospital, 2013-15. Allergen specific IgE was measured via an immunoblotting method using AlleisaScreen® system kit and their data were collected.Results: Of 396 patients 246 (62.1%) were male and 150 (37.9%) were female. The range of patient's age was between1-12 and the mean± SD were 4.72±2.91 years. The most common allergens were milk, wheat flour, egg white, casein and cheese mix, respectively. Conclusion:This study showed that the order of common food allergens in this study was different from other reports; this might be due to the different food habits and /or ethnic diversities.
