چکیده
Methods In the EuroPrevall-INCO survey, primary school children (7-10 years) from randomly selected schools in China (Hong Kong [urban/n=401], Guangzhou [urban/ n=402], Shaoguan [rural/n=349]) and Russia (Tomsk [urban&rural/n=1230]) were first screened by a short questionnaire for self-reported food allergy. Subsequently, cases and randomly sampled controls underwent a more detailed clinical evaluation by standardized questionnaire, and all were assessed for sensitization by SPT and ImmunoCAP analysis against 27 different foods and 8 inhalants. A subset from Hong Kong (n=216) and Tomsk (n=318) was further screened for sensitization to 56 food and 6 inhalant allergens by custom-made microarray.
