Food allergy is a widespread phenomenon: An estimated 1–2% of the population suffers from some type of food allergy. Fruits and vegetables are considered among the most important elicitors of food allergy. Berry fruits rich in phenolic compounds including flavonols, flavones and anthocyanins have recently gained increasing interest due to their possible beneficial effects on human health. Howev...

OBJECTIVES To provide a review of the literature and discuss the clinical, pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic challenges of oral allergy syndrome (OAS). DATA SOURCES English-language publications on OAS (and pollen-food allergy syndrome) were identified through MEDLINE and through the reference lists of each identified article and review.

European control and prevention policies are focused to guarantee a high level of protection of consumers' health. Food-borne diseases as obesity, diabetes, food allergy, and food-borne outbreaks are increasing. To prevent food-borne diseases, it is fundamental to involve consumers, in particular children, in educational experiences aimed to learn the proper behaviours to be applied. In this co...

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIAn) is induced by different types and various intensities of physical activity, and is distinct from food allergies. It has been shown that consumption of allergenic food followed by exercise causes FDEIAn symptoms. Intake of allergenic food or medication before exercise is a major predisposing factor for FDEIAn. Urticaria and severe allergic rea...

Article type: Review Article Food allergy is estimated about 8% in children. The relationship between food and manifestation of allergy symptoms and its confirmation for accurate diagnosis is very important. Allergic rhinitis is a common disease with a prevalence of 40% among different societies. The prevalence of food-induced allergic rhinitis appears to be less than 1 percent. Food reactions ...

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is characterised by the onset of anaphylaxis during (or soon after) exercise preceded by ingestion of a food allergen. In FDEIA, both food allergens and exercise are independently tolerated. This syndrome has been associated with wheat, seafood, peanut, egg, milk, vegetables and fruits. Rosaceae fruits may also be involved. There are two major...

studies to be a useful marker of inflammation among asthmatics, but this study demonstrated an association between atopy and eNO levels. It has been suggested that eNO may be a useful screening test for asthma, and perhaps some of these asymptomatic atopic patients are evolving asthmatics. Although eNO devices have received Food and Drug Administration approval, their cost has limited their use...

PURPOSE Increasing in prevalence, food allergy (FA) is becoming an important public health concern. In Korean adults, however, clinical phenotypes and causes of FA have not been studied. We aimed to study common causative allergens and clinical manifestations of FA in Korean adults. METHODS This study was conducted as a retrospective review of medical records for 95 patients (≥19 years old) d...
