The burden of IgE-mediated food allergy in Australian born children is reported to be among the highest globally. This illness shares risk factors and frequently coexists with asthma, one of the most common noncommunicable diseases of childhood.
Food allergy can have significant effects on morbidity and quality of life and can be costly in terms of medical visits and treatments.
Maternal supplementation with 900 mg of ω-3 LCPUFA did not change the progression of IgE-mediated allergic disease symptoms or sensitization
Strategies to prevent early-life food allergen sensitisation prior to commencement of solid foods are needed and should be the focus of future research
This study highlights an unpredicted potential risk factor for the development of food allergy, that is, D pteronyssinus allergens in breast milk
Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy
Early life innate immune dysfunction may represent a key immunological driver and predictor of persistent food allergy in childhood
Epidemiological evidence from the past decade suggests a role of vitamin D in food allergy pathogenesis
When an infant is developmentally ready, a variety of nutritious foods should be introduced including the ‘more allergenic’ foods during infancy
Infant feeding in the first postnatal year of life has an important role in an infant's risk of developing food allergy
