“…Estimated fruit allergy prevalence ranges between 0.029% and 8% [1,8,10,[12][13][14]18,19,21,24,25,27,[30][31][32][33]35]. Ahanchian et al and Lee et al reported the number of fruit allergic cases as 371 and 26, respectively, without providing the total study population [11,16].…”

Fruit allergies manifest with a diverse array of clinical presentations, ranging from localized contact allergies and oral allergy syndrome to the potential for severe systemic reactions including anaphylaxis. The scope of population-level prevalence studies remains limited, largely derived from single-center or hospital-based investigations. In this comprehensive review, we conducted a systematic literature search spanning the years 2009 to 2023, with full acknowledgment of potential analytical biases, to provide a global overview of fruit allergy prevalence. The primary mechanistic underpinning of fruit allergies stems from cross-reactivity between aeroallergens and food allergens, a consequence of structurally similar epitopes—a phenomenon recognized as pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS). In the era of molecular allergology, numerous studies have dissected allergen components with substantial clinical relevance. Within this review, we explore important allergenic molecules found in plant-based foods, scrutinize pertinent cross-reactivity patterns, and offer insights into management recommendations. Additionally, we compare guideline recommendations to enhance clinical understanding and inform decision making.

“…The individuals were classified as follows [11,12,15]: (1) Parent-reported physiciandiagnosed food allergy (PR-PD FA), preschoolers whose parents reported medical diagnosis of food allergy; (2) "Immediate-type FA, ever", preschoolers whose parents reported recurrent and convincing symptoms of immediate-type food allergy; (3) "Immediate-type FA, current", preschoolers that met criteria for "immediate-type FA, ever", but whose parents reported that, currently, their children are unable to eat the suspect food without triggering any reaction; (4) "Food-dependent anaphylaxis", according to [15].…”

“…These aspects motivate researchers to carry out prevalence studies in specific regions of Latin American countries to characterize the main foods causing allergies in different age groups and to know the magnitude and relevance of the problem. Although there is still limited information [10], most food allergy epidemiological studies carried out in Latin America have been focused on schoolchildren, informing prevalence rates between 1.4 and 5.5% [11][12][13][14][15]. In Mexico, the second-largest Latin American country in terms of population and the third in territorial extension [16], only one food allergy prevalence study has been conducted in preschoolers, which took place in the west of the country [17].…”

The magnitude and relevance of food allergies in the preschool population remain unknown in most regions of Mexico and Latin America. Thus, our aim was to estimate the parent-reported prevalence of food allergies in a Mexican preschool population and to characterize their clinical diagnosis and presentation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Culiacán City. A validated questionnaire was utilized. A total of 810 parents responded to the questionnaire (valid response rate, 40.7%). The estimated prevalence rates (95% CI) were: “physician-diagnosed Food Allergy (FA), ever” 5.30% (3.86–7.08); “immediate-type FA, ever” 2.96% (1.91–4.38); “immediate-type FA, current” 1.60% (0.86–2.73); and food-dependent anaphylaxis 1.11% (0.51–2.01). The main food allergens were milk (0.49%), strawberries (0.37%), egg, and soy (0.25% each). Atopic diseases and a family history of allergies were significantly associated with immediate-type FA. Among “immediate-type FA, current” cases, 76.9% required emergency room visits, but the prescription of epinephrine autoinjectors was reported in one case only. The food reactions occurred at home (92.35%), in a relative’s house (38.5), and at restaurants (23%). Immediate-type FA reactions requiring emergency room visits are not uncommon among the studied population. Actions like proper anaphylaxis management and the prevention of cross-contamination of foods should be encouraged.

Wheat allergy is a primary disease of food allergy, and its global prevalence is unclear. This study aimed to characterize the latest worldwide prevalence of wheat allergy based on five different diagnostic methods. Study searches were conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, Ovid LWW, and Cochrane database, with a time limit of 1 January 2007 to 1 September 2022. The review and screening of the articles was undertaken by two independent reviewers. The statistical analysis was conducted by R. A total of 56 articles were finally included. The prevalence of wheat allergy was 0.63% (95% CI: 0.43–0.87%) for self-reported, 0.70% (95% CI: 0.18–1.22%) for self-reported physician-diagnosed, 0.22% (95%CI: 0.07–0.65%) for skin prick test positive, 0.97% (95% CI: 0.43–2.20%) for specific immunoglobulin E positive, and 0.04% (95% CI: 0–0.16%) for food challenge. However, food challenge can be largely subjective, and the results were only based two countries, so the prevalence of wheat allergy confirmed by food challenge may be not entirely trustworthy. In conclusion, investigating the prevalence of wheat allergy in the real world as accurately as possible will contribute to the prevention, management, and risk assessment of wheat allergy.
