Background: Previous studies have suggested that fish intake plays a protective role in the development of allergic diseases because of its high content of n-3 very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC-PUFA). However, it is not clear whether fish intake also has a beneficial effect in adulthood, when allergic diseases are thought to be predominantly manifested. Methods: Data from 388 adults from German study centres within the European Community Respiratory Health Study II were analysed. These subjects completed an extensive interviewer-administered questionnaire as well as a food frequency questionnaire, lung function measurement and blood drawing for specific IgE testing at the study centre. Results: Allergic sensitisation (RAST ≥2) was negatively associated with high fish consumption (adjusted OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.05–0.83) and high docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake (adjusted OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.07–0.95) in females but not in males when comparing the fourth quartile with the first quartile of intake. No other outcome was related to fish or DHA consumption. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that adult females with a high fish and DHA intake have a lower rate of allergic sensitisation. It is not understood why this association was only seen in females, but gender-related differences in metabolism of PUFAs could be a possible explanation.

“…Diet may influence both inflammatory and allergic diseases in general, but the role of diet particularly in rhinitis and sinusitis is not clearly understood although a few studies have been reported on the association between dietary factors and allergic type of rhinitis (De Batlle J et al 2008, Farchi S et al 2003, Huang SL et al 2001, Hoff S et al 2005, Miyake Y et al 2007). The mixed condition of allergic and non-allergic types is most common in rhinitis (Dykewicz MS and Hamilos DL 2010,Wallace DV et al 2008, Settipane RA and Charnock DR 2007, and sinusitis frequently occurs with rhinitis (Tan RA and Corren J 2011, Dykewicz MS and Hamilos DL 2010, Van Crombruggen K et al 2011, Meltzer EO et al 2004).…”

“…In the study with adolescents, the frequent consumption of animal liver and fruits were associated with an increased risk of allergic rhinitis (Huang SL et al 2001). In the study with adults, high intakes of alpha-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids were associated with a decreased risk of allergic rhinitis (Hoff S et al 2005, Miyake Y et al 2007). There has been an inconsistency in the association of milk consumption and allergic rhinitis; one study showed an inverse association (Farchi S et al 2003), but the other showed a positive association (Huang SL et al 2001).…”

Rhinitis and sinusitis are among the most common medical conditions in Korea, as well as Western societies. Environmental factors may influence both rhinitis and sinusitis; however, the role of dietary factors in rhinitis and sinusitis is not clear. The present study aims to compare the dietary habit, food consumption frequency, and food preference of elementary school students with or without rhinitis and sinusitis. The demand of their parents for an education program for the dietary prevention against rhinitis and sinusitis was also examined.The survey was conducted with a total of 200 subjects recruited from two elementary schools located in Gyeonggi area of Korea. The subjects consisted of 101 students with rhinitis and/or sinusitis (RS group) and 99 without rhinitis and sinusitis (control group). The students of the RS group were more likely to have habits of eating-out and street food use, to consume bean, peanut, walnut, almond, yogurt, egg, snack, and French fries frequently, and to prefer the types of foods prepared by stir-frying and deep-frying than the control group. The parents who recognized 'school nutrition teachers or food/nutrition-majored specialists' as the most appropriate educator for the dietary education program in the RS group (48.5% of their parents) were less than those in the control group (67.7% of their parents). The present study suggest that students with rhinitis and/or sinusitis may be different from those without the disease(s) in their dietary habit, frequently consumed foods, and preferred type of foods. More epidemiological, intervention, and laboratory studies are needed in order to elucidate the role of dietary factors in the development and prevention of rhinitis and sinusitis, which will have a significant implication to public health.

“…Similarly, individuals allergic to shellfish are advised to avoid crustacean and/or molluscan shellfish, due to the high cross-reactivity among shellfish species. On the other hand, seafood is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids that could modulate an inflammatory response in many diseases, including allergic disorders; therefore, a diet without fish and shellfish in order to reduce contact with respective seafood allergens and A. simplex allergens should be carefully balanced [78][79][80].…”

Seafood Allergy, Toxicity, and Intolerance: A Review

Seafood allergies have been increasing their presence in the last 2 decades. Allergic reactions to seafood can range from mild urticarial and oral allergy syndrome to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Ingestion of seafood infested with Anisakis larvae can cause a disease known as anisakiasis with symptoms similar to true seafood allergy. Furthermore, some adverse reactions to seafood including histamine fish poisoning (HFP), and intolerance to histamine can trigger clinical symptoms, which, although nonallergic in origin, are similar to true immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions. Because seafood allergy usually remains a lifelong food allergy, this review focuses on the current knowledge on fish and shellfish allergens and emphasizes the importance of differentiating seafood allergy from other allergy-like reactions (anisakiasis, HFP, and intolerance to histamine). Key teaching points: • Fish and shellfish are potent allergens that can provoke serious IgE antibody-mediated adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. • Sensitization to seafood allergens can be achieved by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. • Shellfish major allergen, tropomyosin, shares significant homology to arthropods (dust mites and cockroaches). • Accidental exposures to seafood products cross-contaminated with fish or shellfish allergens (hidden allergens) during processing may present a health risk for sensitive individuals. • Allergens of fish parasite A. simplex present common hidden allergens in seafood, particularly in raw and undercooked home-made fish dishes. • Symptoms caused by HFP, histamine intolerance, and anisakiasis are similar to true seafood allergy.

Abstract: Our findings suggest that the intake of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids may be associated with a reduced prevalence of allergic rhinitis.
