Seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in childhood and adolescence. Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is a common adverse reaction occurring few minutes after the consumption of vegetable foods in patients with pollen-induced SAR. PFAS has rarely been investigated in the pediatric population, as it has been mainly examined as an adult disease. Recent studies suggested that PFAS might be more frequent in childhood than previously recognized. The present review aims to give an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis of PFAS in children with SAR-induced by pollens.
季节性变应性鼻结膜炎(SAR)影响着全世界数以百万计的人,尤其是在儿童和青少年中。花粉食物过敏综合征(PFAS)是一种常见的不良反应,发生在花粉诱导的 SAR 患者食用蔬菜食物几分钟后。PFAS 在儿科人群中的研究很少,因为它主要被作为成人疾病进行检查。最近的研究表明,PFAS 在儿童中的发生频率可能比以前认识到的更高。本综述旨在概述花粉引起的 SAR 儿童中 PFAS 的流行病学、病理生理学、诊断、管理和预后。
