INTRODUCTION Peanut, tree nut, and seed allergies are some of most common food allergies in both children and adults. These allergies tend to cause severe reactions and usually persist over time. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical features of peanut, tree nut, and seed allergies are presented in this topic review. Diagnosi...

Aug 25th, 2017 - Peanut nut and tree nut allergy are characterised by IgE mediated reactions to nut proteins. Nut allergy is a global disease. Limited epidemiological data suggest varying prevalence in different geographical areas. Primary nut allergy affects over 2% of children and 0.5% of adults in the UK. Infants with severe eczema ...

Dec 3rd, 2014 - Peanut and tree nut allergies are the commonest cause of life-threatening food-allergic reactions and significantly affect quality of life in children and their families. Dietary nut avoidance and provision of emergency medication is currently the mainstay of treatment. Nut avoidance has consequences on both quality of life and nutrition. We review the terminology that may cause confusion and l...

May 27th, 2008 - The gold standard for diagnosing food allergy is the double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. Diagnostic food-specific IgE levels might assist in diagnosing food allergies and circumventing the need for food challenges. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of food-specific IgE measurements for identifying symptomatic peanut, tree nut,...

Aug 7th, 2008 - Minimal data exist on the prevalence and characteristics of in-flight reactions to foods. To characterize reactions to foods experienced by passengers aboard commercial airplanes and to examine information about flying with a food allergy available from airlines. Telephone questionnaires were administered to individuals in a peanut, tree nut, and seed ...

Oct 16th, 2013 - The prevalence of peanut (PN) and tree nut (TN) allergy in children has tripled in the past decade. Prenatal exposures, including maternal diet and medications, may account for some of this increase. In the United States, progesterone for luteal support in assisted reproduction is commonly formulated in PN or sesame seed (SS) oil. To determine whether p...

May 17th, 2008 - Peanut and tree nut allergies present multiple challenges in their presentation and management. These challenges have become increasingly relevant in recent years, as these allergies appear to have become more common. An estimated 1-2% of the population in the USA is allergic to peanut or tree nuts. Peanut allergy typically p...

Dec 24th, 2019 - Peanut, tree nut, and sesame allergies are responsible for most life-threatening food-induced allergic reactions. Rates of coexistent allergy between these foods have been from mostly retrospective studies that include only a limited number of tree nuts or were not based on oral food challenges. The Pronuts study is a multicenter European ...

Jun 23rd, 2017 - HELSINKI — For most children with a tree nut allergy, other nuts and seeds can be introduced into the diet, with challenges and supervision, particularly when they are younger, results from the prospective ProNut study (NCT01744990) shows. Patients with nut allergies have previously been advised to avoid all nuts, but results from this study sugg...

Jan 19th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In children with one or more nut allergies who have undergone skin prick and specific IgE testing, the basophil activation test (BAT) can reduce the number of oral food challenges needed to clarify which other nuts, if any, the child is allergic to, researchers report. The potential benefit of fewer oral food challenges (OFCs) is substantial, Dr. Alexan...

Feb 23rd, 2020 - Background Tree nut-allergic individuals are often sensitised towards multiple nuts and seeds. The underlying cause behind a multi-sensitisation for cashew nut, hazelnut, peanut and birch pollen is not always clear. We investigated whether immunoglobulin E antibody (IgE) cross-reactivity between cashew nut, hazelnut and peanut prote...

Dec 24th, 2014 - It is not "one size fits all" in the management of peanut and tree nut allergies, a comprehensive review suggests, but rather, treatment plans need to be individualized for children allergic to peanuts and/or tree nuts to meet their nutritional needs and still keep children safe from allergic food reactions. The review was pu...

Jan 30th, 2018 - Nut allergy varies from pollen cross-allergy, to primary severe allergy with life-threatening symptoms. The screening of IgE antibodies to a wide spectrum of allergens, including species-specific and cross-reactive allergens, is made possible via microarray analysis. We sought to study the association of variable IgE sensitization profiles to clinical response in ...

Apr 1st, 2015 - Allergy to tree nuts has grown widespread among patients, specifically in the pediatric population, in recent years. In this review, we evaluate and summarize the literature specific to development and treatment of tree nut allergy. The cause of tree nut allergy, such as most food allergies, is unknown; there are theories regarding materna...

Apr 8th, 2021 - To provide clinicians with an understanding of risk factors associated with fatal anaphylaxis, and to promote individualized management plans with patients based upon key aspects of their clinical history. While anaphylaxis can affect a significant percentage of the general population, death from anaphylaxis remains a rare outcome. The presence of asthma and peanut or tr...
