Reliance on increasing use of dietary supplementation and fortification (eg, with folate) to compensate for increased consumption of processed foods is also...

To show underlying mechanisms, we examined differences in T-cell gene expression in samples at birth and at 1 year in children with and without IgE allergy.

This study examined whether maternal and/or fetal folate status in pregnancy is associated with infant allergic outcomes.

The effect of breast-feeding on the development of allergic disease is uncertain

Up to three out of every 100 babies develop cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in their first year of life – and this number appears to be on the rise

As we count down to the end of the long summer holidays, it’s natural for children to feel anxious about what the new school year will bring.

The incidence of anaphylaxis is increasing globally in tandem with changing environmental and lifestyle factors. There is very limited data on very early childhood presentations. We aim to assess changes in rates, characteristics and management of infant anaphylaxis in a paediatric ED over a 15-year period.

Oral immunotherapy is effective at inducing desensitisation to allergens and induces sustained unresponsiveness (ie, clinical remission) in a subset of patients, but causes frequent reactions. We aimed to investigate whether addition of a probiotic adjuvant improved the efficacy or safety of peanut oral immunotherapy.

Although evidence suggests that the immune system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of nut allergy, the precise immunological mechanisms of nut allergy have not been systematically investigated. The aim of the present study was to identify gene network patterns and associated cellular immune responses in children with or without nut allergy.

Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg
