Food allergy is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 25 school-aged children and is the most common trigger of anaphylaxis in this age group. School food-allergy management requires strategies to reduce the risk of ingestion of the allergen as well as procedures to recognize and treat allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. The role of the pediatrician or pediatric health care provider may include diagnosing and documenting a potentially life-threatening food allergy, prescribing self-injectable epinephrine, helping the child learn how to store and use the medication in a responsible manner, educating the parents of their responsibility to implement prevention strategies within and outside the home environment, and working with families, schools, and students in developing written plans to reduce the risk of anaphylaxis and to implement emergency treatment in the event of a reaction. This clinical report highlights the role of the pediatrician and pediatric health care provider in managing students with food allergies.
估计有大约 1/25 的学龄儿童患有食物过敏,这也是该年龄段中引发过敏反应的最常见原因。学校食物过敏管理需要采取策略来降低摄入过敏原的风险,还需要制定识别和治疗过敏反应和过敏反应的程序。儿科医生或儿科保健提供者的作用可能包括诊断和记录潜在的危及生命的食物过敏,开具自我注射肾上腺素的处方,帮助孩子学习如何以负责任的方式储存和使用药物,教育家长有责任在家内外实施预防策略,以及与家庭、学校和学生合作制定书面计划,以降低过敏反应的风险,并在发生反应时实施紧急治疗。本临床报告强调了儿科医生和儿科保健提供者在管理患有食物过敏的学生方面的作用。
