“…The pathogenic role of minor allergens has also been raised. These cannot be detected by traditional methods, but only by molecular diagnostics [50,51]. It should be noted that eosinophilic esophagitis has also been reported as a side effect of oral or sublingual immunotherapy, therefore monitoring is required in these cases [52][53][54].…”

Background: Adults frequently interpret food-associated adverse reactions as indicators of a food allergy. However, the public perception of food allergy may differ from a clinician’s point of view. The prevalence of patient-reported food allergy tends to be higher than physician-confirmed cases. Dermatological manifestations (urticaria, pruritus, dermatitis, and edema) are frequently reported by patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe patient-reported symptoms related to suspected food allergies and particularly to characterize and highlight the volume of patients who visit Budapest allergy clinics with suspected food allergies. Methods: In this prospective study, adult (≥18 years) patients were examined at the Allergology Outpatient Unit of the Dept. of Dermatology, Venereology, and Dermatooncology, Semmelweis University, Budapest. The examination included a detailed medical history; physical examination; and when necessary the measurement of allergen-specific serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Results: Data from 501 patients (393 women, 108 men) were analyzed. Intolerance to dietary biogenic amines occurred in 250 cases (250/501, 50%). Oral allergy syndrome was confirmed in 71 patients (71/501, 14%). Allergy to food preservatives was diagnosed in 14 (14/501, 3%) cases by a dermatologist-allergist specialist. Five individuals (5/501, 1%) were diagnosed with IgE-mediated food allergy. In some cases (28/501, 6%), edema-inducing/enhancing side effects of drugs were observed which patients had misattributed to various foods. Among the food groups considered to be provoking factors, the most frequently mentioned were fruits (198/501, 40%), milk/dairy products (174/501, 35%), and nuts/oilseeds (144/501, 29%). Overwhelmingly, urticaria (47%) was the most common dermatological diagnosis, followed by dermatitis (20%) and allergic contact dermatitis (8%). Conclusion: Improvement is needed in food allergy, food intolerance, and general nutritional knowledge among the general public. According to our data, perceived/self-reported food allergies were overestimated by adults when compared against physician-confirmed food allergies; however, other diseases potentially responsible for food-related problems were underestimated. The prevalence of oral allergy syndrome was high in the cohort. Intolerance to dietary biogenic amines was common, and although the role of dietary histamine and biogenic amine is not entirely understood in eliciting patients’ symptoms, improvements in complaints were reported during the control visits.

“…Про-биотики способны связываться с аллергенами и мо-дифицировать или преобразовывать их в формы, которые более не будут аллергенными (например, подвергать гидролизу полипептиды или превращать сложные белки в безвредные пептиды). Подобным эффектом обладают споры бактерии Bacillus subtilis, использование которых привело к значительному уменьшению частоты и тяжести симптомов аллергии на чернику в виде ангионевротического отека [11].…”

У статті подано огляд літератури щодо сучасних клінічних та експериментальних досліджень у галузі використання Bacillus subtilis і Bacillus licheniformis для лікування і профілактики харчової алергії у дітей. Наведені численні докази зв’язку порушень складу кишкової мікрофлори у дітей з різними алергічними захворюваннями в перші роки життя. Показано, що пробіотики, що містять Bacillus subtilis і Bacillus licheniformis, завдяки комплексному прямому й опосередкованому позитивному впливу сприяють запобіганню алергічним розладам. Дані мікроорганізми можуть тимчасово змінювати склад мікробіоти кишечника і потенційно зменшувати сприйнятливість організму дитини до алергенів. Така тактика перспективна і не порушує природних фізіологічних механізмів розвитку вікової імунної толерантності до різних антигенів, що запобігає формуванню харчової алергії у дітей.
