“…Because of high cost of diagnostic methods of FA, the most reasonable method in prevelance studies is to determine potential children with questionnaire forms and by testing these children. In many studies, 30-fold differences between family reports and actual prevelances of FA have been observed (4,8,23). Therefore, children with a suspicion of FA should be reevaluated with laboratory methods including SPT and DBPCCT to determine the prevelance of FA more accurately in our region.…”

SummaryAim: In recent years, the frequency of food allergy in children has gradually increased. Food allergy affects growth, development and quality of life adversely. There is no enough research in the preschool age group in which food allergy is observed more frequently. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of food allergy in nursery and kindergarten children living in Samsun. Material and Method: Nursery and kindergarten children living in Samsun were included in this study. A standardized self-administered questionnaire on food allergy was handed out to 2390 parents. We achieved a response rate of 53.5%. The parents of children with suspected food allergy were called by phone to learn detailed history. Results: The prevalence of food allergy in nursery and kindergarten children in Samsun province was found to be 7.7% (99 subjects). 51.5% of 99 subjects who were found to have food allergy were male. There were no differences between the mean age of children with FA (5.03±1.0) and the healthy children (5.17± 0.86). The prevalence of FA in the three-year-old group was lower than the other age groups. The most common allergic foods were hen's egg (25.3%) and chocolate (21.2%), foods additives (1.2%), strawberry (9.2%), cow milk (7.1%) and nut (4.1%). The most commonly reported systemic reactions against foods were related with skin (53.5%) and gastrointestinal systems (31.4%). Conclusions: The prevalence of FA was similar to our country and the Asian countries, but lower than the European and American countries. In preschool children with recurrent skin and gastrointestinal tract symptoms, FA should be kept in mind. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 288-293)

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Breast milk is protective against many conditions, but its role in allergy has not been established. Infant-feeding recommendations support exclusive breastfeeding for 26 weeks, whereas allergy prevention recommendations advise exclusive breastfeeding for 4 to 6 months with continued breastfeeding thereafter. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Evidence that continued breastfeeding while solids are introduced into the diet and delaying the introduction of solids until at least 17 weeks of age are associated with fewer food allergies. abstract OBJECTIVES: To address questions regarding breastfeeding, complementary feeding, allergy development, and current infant-feeding recommendations.METHODS: This was a nested, case-control within a cohort study in which mothers of 41 infants diagnosed with food allergy by the age of 2 years (according to double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge) and their 82 age-matched controls kept prospective food diaries of how their infants were fed in the first year of life. RESULTS:Infants who were diagnosed with food allergy by the time they were 2 years of age were introduced to solids earlier (#16 weeks of age) and were less likely to be receiving breast milk when cow' s milk protein was first introduced into their diet. CONCLUSIONS:This study supports the current American Academy of Pediatrics' allergy prevention recommendations and the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition recommendations on complementary feeding to not introduce solids before 4 to 6 months of age. It also supports the American Academy of Pediatrics' breastfeeding recommendations that breastfeeding should continue while solids are introduced into the diet and that breastfeeding should continue for 1 year, or longer, as mutually desired by mother and infant.

A Ad dd dr re es ss s f fo or r c co or rr re es sp po on nd de en nc ce e: : Zygmunt Nowacki MD, PhD, Allergological-Pediatric Practice, Original paper A b s t r a c t I In nt tr ro od du uc ct ti io on n: : In the recent years the number of children with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) presenting with allergies to extensively hydrolyzed whey (eHF-W) and casein formulae (eHF-C) respectively has increased. A Ai im m: : To present the patient characteristics of children with CMPA who presented with allergic reactions to eHF-W and/or eHF-C used as part of an elimination diet. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d m me et th ho od ds s: : A retrospective study was carried out for a group of 65 selected from of 359 children (3 to 12 months) affected with CMPA and allergy to eHF. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : 18.1% (65/359) and 7.8% (28/359) from the group presented with allergic reactions to eHF-W and eHF-C, respectively. An allergic reaction to eHF-C occurred in 43% of the patients from the group (28/65). IgE-mediated CMPA presented with one of the following clinical manifestations: atopic dermatitis (AD) 94%, gastrointestinal symptoms (GI) 47%, respiratory symptoms (RS) 44%, anaphylactic reactions (AR) 26%. Non-IgE-mediated CMPA, on the other hand, manifested with: AD 97%, GI 22%, RS 10% .The observations showed that all 31 from the non-IgE mediated CMPA group with GI and AD manifestations presented with symptoms of eHF-C allergy (p = 0.001). In the IgE-mediated CMPA (n = 34) the following factors were statistically significant with relation to eHF-C allergy: CMPA manifesting with GI (p = 0.014) and AD. The occurrence of AR in response to cow's milk protein (CMP) decreased the probability of an eHF-C allergy (p = 0.028) in a statistically significant way. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on ns s: : Children with CMPA who presented with allergies to eHF-W and eHF-C had a higher frequency of clinical manifestation with GI and AD. K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : cow's milk allergy, elimination diet.
