“…In previous studies it has been reported that chest nut and cashew nut allergies were the most common type in USA and Brasilia while hazel nut and chest nut were common in European countries (8). In accordance with previous studies from our country and other countries hazel nut and chest nut allergies were the most common TNAs in our study (9,10).…”

Objective: Tree nut allergies (TNA) are an important health problem can cause severe reactions such as anaphylaxis and the frequency of improvement with age is low. This study aims to evaluate the clinical features and tolerance development of TNAs. Material and Methods:In our study, the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and tolerances of the patients who were followed with allergy to tree nuts between 2010-2017 in the

Food allergy (FA) is increasingly reported in Europe, however, the latest prevalence estimates were based on studies published a decade ago. The present work provides the most updated estimates of the prevalence and trends of FA in Europe. Databases were searched for studies published between 2012 and 2021, added to studies published up to 2012. In total, 110 studies were included in this update. Most studies were graded as moderate risk of bias. Pooled lifetime and point prevalence of self‐reported FA were 19.9% (95% CI 16.6–23.3) and 13.1% (95% CI 11.3–14.8), respectively. The point prevalence of sensitization based on specific IgE (slgE) was 16.6% (95% CI 12.3–20.8), skin prick test (SPT) 5.7% (95% CI 3.9–7.4), and positive food challenge 0.8% (95% CI 0.5–0.9). While lifetime prevalence of self‐reported FA and food challenge positivity only slightly changed, the point prevalence of self‐reported FA, sIgE and SPT positivity increased from previous estimates. This may reflect a real increase, increased awareness, increased number of foods assessed, or increased number of studies from countries with less data in the first review. Future studies require rigorous designs and implementation of standardized methodology in diagnosing FA, including use of double‐blinded placebo‐controlled food challenge to minimize potential biases.

“…2,7,8 There is no prevalence study on food allergy in children covering the entire country of Turkey. In some studies conducted in Turkey regarding the prevalence of food allergy in children, red meat allergy was rarely reported, [9][10][11] while in others it was frequently reported. 12,13 The conflicting results may be due to the fact that these studies were conducted in different regions of Turkey.…”

Background. It was reported that prevalence of red meat allergy in children was higher in our country than in western populations. However, the diagnosis of these patients is often delayed. The aim of the study was to present the clinical and laboratory characteristics of our red meat allergy patients. Methods. The data were collected retrospectively from the files of children with red meat allergy. Also, 6 adults with red meat allergies were recorded in the families of the children. Patients with symptoms associated with red meat allergy and sensitive to beef or mutton in prick-to-prick tests were recorded. Results. The median age of the 43 patients was 12 years (2-37), and 51% were male. Most of the patients were children (n=37, 86%). The median age was 10 years in children (2-17), and 54% were male. All of the children had dermatologic manifestations, 51% had respiratory symptoms, and 64% had anaphylaxis upon exposure to red meat. The anaphylaxis history was not associated with demographic, clinical and laboratory data. A total of 63% children had additional allergic diseases, and 75% of them were sensitive to both mutton and beef in prickto- prick tests. The median total IgE level of the children was 327 (20-3550) IU/mL, median eosinophil count was 210/mm < sup > 3 < /sup > (40-990) and mean vitamin D was 13.1 ± 1.2 mcg/L (n=27). Anaphylaxis occurred in 3 of 9 patients who received the open oral food challenge (OFC) test. After OFC, 3 patients continued to eat red meat without issues, and 1 patient was recommended to eat alternatives to red meat. Conclusions. Clinical and laboratory findings were heterogeneous in children with red meat allergy. Anaphylaxis risk seems to be higher than other food allergies. OFC test is more helpful in both diagnosis and alternative red meat selection compared to laboratory findings.
