“…Zhengzhou et al analyzed 1299 children from Henan province who were tested for food allergens, and identified eggs, milk, and cod as the main allergens [28]. In a Mexico study conducted in the year 2013–2014, the highest frequency of suspected allergic reactions was related to milk (44.5%), fruit (25.4%), eggs (21.8%), cereals (19.6%), and seafood (13.6%) [29]. Furthermore, James et al [3] examined 300 city students from the United States and identified peanuts and nuts as the major food allergens.…”

BackgroundThe prevalence of food allergies in asthmatic children and adolescents has significantly increased over recent years. Nevertheless, the relevant clinical analyses are still lacking in China. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine common food allergens in pediatric patients with asthma in Chongqing, Southwest China.Material/MethodsA total of 8393 asthmatic patients from Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (CHCMU) were enrolled in this retrospective study between October 2014 and July 2017. All patients underwent skin prick test (SPT) with 10 food allergens and recorded history of clinical reactivity. The correlations among the positive rates, categories of allergens, gender, age, and living environment were analyzed.ResultsA total of 2544 patients (30.31%) had a positive SPT, while the prevalence of food allergy was 8%. Sea crab, peanut, and sea shrimp were the most common food allergens found in the studied population. The frequent food allergies were sea crab, peanuts, and sea shrimp.ConclusionsIdentifying allergens is important for the diagnosis and management of allergic disorders, and for performing immunotherapy.

“…Un estudio epidemiológico de varias regiones de México mostró que el asma podría coexistir hasta en 35 % de los sujetos con alergia alimentaria. 92 Sin embargo, solo en raras ocasiones (< 2 %) las reacciones alérgicas a alimentos serán disparadores de síntomas respiratorios o asma.…”

Rev Alerg Mex. 2017;64 Supl 1:s11-s128. AbstractBackground: The need for a national guideline, with a broad basis among specialists and primary care physicians was felt in Mexico, to try unifying asthma management. As several high-quality asthma guidelines exist worldwide, it was decided to select the best three for transculturation. Methods: Following the internationally recommended methodology for guideline transculturation, ADAPTE, a literature search for asthma guidelines, published 1-1-2007 through 31-12-2015 was conducted. AGREE-II evaluations yielded 3/40 most suitable for transculturation. Their compound evidence was fused with local reality, patient preference, cost and safety considerations to draft the guideline document. Subsequently, this was adjusted by physicians from 12 national medical societies in several rounds of a Delphi process and 3 face-to-face meetings to reach the final version. Results: Evidence was fused from British Thoracic Society Asthma Guideline 2014, Global Initiative on Asthma 2015, and Guía Española del Manejo del Asma 2015 (2016 updates included). After 3 Delphi-rounds we developed an evidence-based document taking into account patient characteristics, including age, treatment costs and safety and best locally available medication. Conclusion: In cooperation pulmonologists, allergists, ENT physicians, paediatricians and GPs were able to develop an evidence-based document for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of asthma and its exacerbations in Mexico.Keywords: Clinical practice guideline; Asthma; Asthmatic exacerbation; Bronchodilator; Inhaled corticosteroid; Spirometry; Immunotherapy. IntroducciónLa presentación de este documento muestra la importancia del asma en México por su alta prevalencia, pero también por su subdiagnóstico y tratamiento deficiente, que propician un mal control de los pacientes con asma, crisis más frecuentes y sintomatología activa. En consecuencia, el asma tiene un impacto socioeconómico considerable para el paciente y la sociedad en su conjunto, al igual que afecta la calidad de vida del paciente y su familia. En México, el paciente con asma puede recibir atención médica en los ámbitos pú-blico o privado, en los diferentes niveles de salud y por múltiples especialidades. Todas estas particularidades de la situación nacional indican la necesidad de un documento guía actualizado, con base amplia en múltiples gremios médicos, tanto de primer nivel de atención como de especialidad.El objetivo de la GUIMA 2017 es facilitar la reducción de la morbimortalidad por asma en México, no solo al mejorar el conocimiento acerca de esta patología, sino también al ayudar a la parte administrativa del Sector Salud a gestionar la selección y adquisición más precisa de los medicamentos necesarios para su tratamiento a nivel de la salud pública. Para tal fin se ofrecen lineamientos par...
