Molecular peanut sensitization patterns in Lithuanian children with suspected allergic symptoms

Abstract

Introduction: There are no in-depth studies describing the peanut sensitization molecular patterns in Lithuanian children. Aim: To investigate the age-related patterns of molecular peanut sensitization profiles in Lithuanian children with suspected allergic symptoms. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of peanut sensitization profiles in 576 Lithuanian children with possible allergic symptoms. Patient data were categorized according to age groups: 0-2, 3-6, 7-12, and 13-18 years. Specific immunoglobulin E levels to peanut molecular components:
