“…Allergies to food/medication/contrast material were reported in 4 of 5 patients ( Table 1). The prevalence of allergy to any food in the US population is 10%-15%, 13,14 while medication allergies and adverse reactions are at 5%-15%. 15 Thus, a 30% estimate of combined food and medication allergy in the US population is substantially lower than the 80% seen in our cohort.…”

SUMMARY:Foreign material emboli following cerebral, cardiac, and peripheral catheterizations have been reported since the mid-1990s. Catheter coatings have been frequently implicated. The most recent surge of interest in this phenomenon within the neurointerventional community is associated with procedures using flow-diversion devices for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Following coil-supported Pipeline embolization in 4 cases and stent-supported coiling in 1, 5 patients developed multiple subcentimeter enhancing lesions, usually with surrounding edema and variable magnetic susceptibility in the vascular territories of the treated aneurysms. Conventional angiography findings were unrevealing. Laboratory work-up showed mild CSF protein elevation with no leukocytosis. Brain biopsy in 2 cases revealed granulomatous angiitis encasing foreign material, identical in stain appearance to a polyvinylpyrrolidone catheter coating. Corticosteroid administration typically produced clinical improvement. A heterogeneous radiographic and clinical course was noted, with rise and fall in the number of enhancing lesions in 2 patients and persistence in others. The etiology may be related to widespread adoption of increasingly sophisticated catheterization techniques.

“…For example, fruits (40.9%) were the most common food to cause adverse reactions to adults in our neighbour country, Poland, other important foods were cow's milk (10.8%), eggs (8.5%), chocolate (7.1%), fish (3.2%) at least (18). In USA, the most common food to cause adverse reactions are fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy, but crustaceans and soya are also important (19), and children were mostly allergic to peanuts, milk and crustaceans (20). In the survey on food allergy conducted by phone in 10 European countries, parents pointed out that the most common foods to cause adverse reactions to their children (as in Lithuania, according to our study) is milk (38.5%), fruits (29.5%), eggs (19.0%) and vegetables (13.5%) (21).…”

Aim. The aim of this study was to determine foods that cause adverse reactions and ailments to citizens of Vilnius (Lithuania).Methods. Vilnius University was a partner in the EuroPrevall integrated project -"The Prevalence Cost and Basis of Food Allergy in Europe", which is a EU-funded multi-disciplinary research study. By implementing this project, 4 333 6-12 year old schoolchildren of the 1st-4th grades from primary schools in Vilnius were asked to answer an anonymous questionnaire (3 084 questionnaires were gathered in return, response rate 71.2%). Meanwhile, 3 985 adults were asked to answer similar questions during interviews (2 634 of them agreed to take part in the survey, response rate 66.1%).Results. Fruits and berries (24.6%), and mostly citrus fruits (7.8%) were the most common foods that caused clinical symptoms among the children. Other important problematic foods were milk and dairy (19.4%), chocolate (10.9%), egg (7.4%). Fruits and berries were also the most common foods that caused clinical symptoms among adults (33.3%); other important foods were nuts (19.6%), vegetables (11.8%), chocolate (9.8%). Meat, crustaceans, cereals were food that caused clinical symptoms least to children and adults (≤2.0%).Conclusions. The list of the most allergenic foods is different in various countries and regions. Food allergy is closely related with age, nutritional habits of the family and society, culture and religion. Therefore, we can find many similarities and disparities when comparing Vilnius with other cities or places in Europe and the world. In Lithuania, there are congenial conditions to grow and consume fruits, vegetables and dairy, therefore these foods are more likely to become allergens to some part of society.

“…OJ L 308. 25.11.2003, p. 15. Taking into account the numerous and well documented reports of allergic individuals reacting to egg albumin (egg white) and that the prevalence of such allergy to egg proteins has been reported to be around 0.3% in adults (NDA, 2004a;Vierk et al, 2007), it is appropriate for the Panel to assess the likelihood of adverse reactions in allergic individuals consuming products where these proteins/allergens have been added during a manufacturing process. Dossiers submitted by Deutscher Weinbauverband (DWV) and by the Office National Interprofessionel de la Vigne et du Vin (ONIVINS) to the European Commission pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 11 of Directive 2000/13/EC as amended by Directive 2003/89/EC for temporary exemption from labelling were the basis for earlier assessments of egg products by the NDA Panel (NDA, 2005a and2005b).…”
