The association between atopic diseases is well known, and previous research has shown that having one atopic disease can predispose to having another. The link between asthma and food allergy has been well researched, but the exact relationship between the two atopic conditions is not fully understood. Food allergic infants are at increased risk for the development of asthma and are at risk of food-induced asthmatic episodes and also anaphylaxis. Having a diagnosis of both food allergy and asthma has also been shown to have an effect on the severity of a patient's disease including being at greater risk of severe asthmatic episodes. Therefore, understanding the relationship between these two conditions in order to treat and manage these children safely is crucial to clinicians.
特应性疾病之间的关联是众所周知的，先前的研究表明，患有一种特应性疾病会使人更容易患上另一种特应性疾病。哮喘与食物过敏之间的联系已得到充分研究，但这两种特应性疾病的确切关系尚未完全明确。食物过敏的婴儿患哮喘的风险增加，有食物诱发哮喘发作以及过敏反应的风险。已表明同时诊断出食物过敏和哮喘也会对患者疾病的严重程度产生影响，包括发生严重哮喘发作的风险更高。因此，了解这两种疾病之间的关系以便安全地治疗和管理这些儿童，对临床医生来说至关重要。
