Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Food-induced anaphylaxis has become the leading cause of anaphylactic reactions that occur outside hospital. We introduce the present review with a definition of food-induced anaphylaxis, including its prevalence and proposed etiology. Second, we discuss an entity that is increasingly being recognized: exercise-induced food anaphylaxis, which may be triggered by specific foods or at times where no specific food has been identified. Third, we review current attempts to identify specific food antigens that are responsible for anaphylaxis to well-known triggers (i.e. peanut, as well as more unusual antigens). Fourth, we discuss current treatment options available (i.e. patient education, food avoidance, acute symptom recognition, and early use of self-administered epinephrine). Additionally, we discuss outcome data regarding the morbidity and mortality related to food allergy and anaphylaxis. Finally, information regarding experimental immunomodulatory therapy is presented. |
