A review of the development of food allergy in a birth cohort of 620 Australian infants at high risk for development of atopic disease has recently been completed. Extrapolating to a random community population showed that at the age of two, egg appears the most frequent food allergen (3.2%), while cow milk (2.0%), and peanut are of similar frequency (1.9%). The prevalence of hypersensitivity to wheat and soy appears similar to sesame seed, cashew nut, hazelnut and walnut, but allergy to fish, brazil nut and shell fish are uncommon. Despite a different methodology, reports from several Asian centres suggest a similar frequency of hypersensitivity to these foods in young children although hypersensitivity to shellfish and seafood was more common than for nuts, peanut and wheat, if seafoods are part of the staple infant diet. Rice hypersensitivity was rare in both Australia and Asian countries.
最近对一个有发展特应性疾病高风险的 620 名澳大利亚婴儿的出生队列中的食物过敏发展进行了综述。外推至随机社区人群显示，在两岁时，鸡蛋是最常见的食物过敏原（3.2%），而牛奶（2.0%）和花生的频率相似（1.9%）。对小麦和大豆的超敏反应的流行似乎与芝麻、腰果、榛子和核桃相似，但对鱼、巴西坚果和贝类的过敏并不常见。尽管方法不同，但来自几个亚洲中心的报告表明，幼儿对这些食物的超敏反应频率相似，尽管如果海鲜是婴儿主食的一部分，那么对贝类和海鲜的超敏反应比坚果、花生和小麦更常见。在澳大利亚和亚洲国家，大米过敏都很少见。
