Food allergy is a kind of food hypersensitivity with various immunological mechanisms. IgE-dependent reactions are the most often occurring mechanisms. Till now population studies allowing to estimate the epidemiology of food allergy were not performed. It is estimated that this problem concerns about 6-8% of children and 1-2% of adult population. Clinical manifestation may be present in every organ and system. The basic approach of diagnosis is to assess causative association between food and presence of symptoms. The most valuable diagnostic method is double blind, placebo controlled food challenge. Elimination diet is the basic treatment method.
食物过敏是一种具有多种免疫机制的食物超敏反应。IgE 依赖反应是最常见的机制。到目前为止，尚未开展能够评估食物过敏流行病学的人群研究。据估计，这一问题涉及约 6 - 8%的儿童和 1 - 2%的成年人口。临床表现可能出现在各个器官和系统。诊断的基本方法是评估食物与症状出现之间的因果关系。最有价值的诊断方法是双盲、安慰剂对照食物激发试验。排除饮食是基本的治疗方法。
