“…Peanut allergy (PA) – a widely studied allergy in the pediatric population with an estimated prevalence of 1.3% in Europe – and tree nut (TN) allergy – with a prevalence ranging from 0.05 to 4.9 % – are clinically similar conditions, often coexisting even though peanuts do not belong to the TN family, but to the legumes one. Children suffering from these allergy often experience an impaired health‐related quality of life (HRQL), as their caregivers might do as well .…”

“…Bu oran, çalışmamızda tespit edilen bildirilen ceviz allerjisi sıklığı (%0.1) ile benzerdir. Literatürde badem allerjisi kuruyemiş allerjileri içinde %3 ile %10 arası sıklıkta bildirilmiştir fakat çalışma grubumuzdaki hiçbir çocukta badem ile reaksiyon tariflenmemiştir (11). Yine, çalışma grubumuzda badem gibi ayçiçeği çekirdeği ile de allerjik reaksiyon bildirilmemiştir.…”

ÖZGiriş: Ülkemizde kuruyemiş tüketimi oldukça fazla olmasına rağmen kuruyemiş allerjisi sıklığı kesin olarak bilinmemektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı, fındık üretiminin yaygın olarak yapıldığı Giresun ilinde fındık ve diğer kuruyemiş allerjilerinin sıklığını ve klinik özelliklerini ortaya koymaktır. Gereç ve yöntem:Çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Giresun il merkezinde bulunan üç anaokulu, dokuz ilköğretim okulu ve iki liseden rastgele seçilen 6-17 yaş arası toplam 6000 çocukta anket yöntemiyle olası IgE aracılı kuruyemiş allerjilerinin sıklığı ve klinik özellikleri araştırıldı. Bulgular: Anket geri dönüş oranı %82.0 (4932/6000), kuruyemiş allerjisi bildirim sıklığı %2.7 (134/4932) idi. Telefon anketine katılan 124 çocuktan 49'unda (%0.99, %95 Güven Aralığı: 0.28, 0.71-1.27) kuruyemişlere karşı şüpheli IgE aracılı reaksiyon olduğu düşünüldü. Bunlardan 25'i (%51.0) kızdı, ortalama yaş 12.6±3.2 idi (yaş aralığı 6-17). Olguların %65.3'üne atopik hastalık eşlik ediyordu. Çalışma grubu içinde fındık, yer fıstığı, antep fıstığı ve ceviz için bildirilen sıklık oranları ise sırasıyla %0.4, %0.3, %0.2 ve %0.1 idi. En sık belirtiler sırasıyla deri belirtileri ve solunum sistemi belirtileriydi. Reaksiyon en sık evde olmuştu. Çocukların %65.3'ünde eşlik eden en az bir atopik hastalık bildirildi.Sonuç: Giresun ilinde yaşayan okul çocuklarında kuruyemiş allerjisi sıklığı düşük ve klinik belirtiler hafif olarak görülmektedir. Ancak ABSTRACT Objective: Despite the high rate of consumption in our country, the definite prevalence of any nut allergy is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of hazelnut and other nut allergies in Giresun, a city where hazelnut is cultivated in large amounts. Materials and Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of IgE-mediated nut allergy was investigated with the survey method in 6000 randomly selected children, between the ages of 6 and 17 years, from three kindergarden, nine primary schools and two high schools located in the city center of Giresun. Results:The response rate to questionnaires was 82.0% (4932/6000), and the reported prevalence of nut allergy was 2.7% (134/4932). Among patients who accepted the telephone survey, 49 were thought to have a possible IgE-mediated allergic reaction with nuts. Of them, 25 were female and the mean age was 12.6±3.2 years (between ages 6 and 17 years) and 65.3% of the children had associated atopic disease. Reported prevalence of hazelnut, peanut, pistachio and walnut was 0.4%, 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.1% respectively. The most common symptoms were cutaneous and respiratory. The reactions most commonly occurred at home. Conclusion:The prevalence of nut allergy is low and the clinical symptoms are mild among school-aged children living in Giresun.

Food allergy is becoming increasingly common in infants and young children. This article set out to explain the different factors that should be taken into account during an individualized allergy consultation: Foods to avoid and degree of avoidance, suitable alternatives, self-management skills, co- and cross-reactive allergens and novel allergens alongside the role of the industry in allergen avoidance, importance of nutritional aspects of the diet and the future directions that nutritional guidance make take. Allergy management advice should be individualized to provide a patient-specific approach. Changes in the management of food allergies have in particular occurred in nut, milk and egg allergies over the past few years. There has also been a progressive increase in our understanding of cross-reactivity between different foods and also food and aero-allergens. A patient-specific approach of allergen avoidance should consider factors relating to industry and the environment such as food and nutrition literacy, threshold levels, cross-contact/contamination and safe eating away from home. Increasing migration and travel has also led to exposure of unfamiliar foods. As understanding improves on individual allergens and threshold levels, food labels and food labelling laws are affected. Allergy specialist dietitians should also keep up to date with the latest information on nutrition, the gut microbiome and the immune system to incorporate nutrition strategies in a dietetic consultation using an evidence-based approach.
