P91 - Pilot study on sensitisation profiles of children with a primary tree nut allergy

چکیده
Background Plant food allergy is a relatively frequent medical problem in childhood. Peanut and tree nuts are the most common causes. Some are allergic to tree nuts due to pollen cross reactivity whereas others have a primary tree nut allergy. Cross sensitivity is also seen between tree nuts and is serologically well described. But the clinical picture of cross sensitivity amongst tree nut allergic children is less investigated.
