Food allergy is an important public health concern that affects all facets of life, and travel is no exception. We sought to provide a scoping review regarding the literature pertaining to management of FA while traveling.
Medline and Embase were queried for English-language articles published in the last 20 years containing "food allergy" and "travel".
The search produced 83 references which were reviewed. After removal of duplicates and irrelevant material, 23 references that discussed travel and FA remained, 13 of which were conference abstracts published as supplemental material.
Priorities for consideration by patient-families and their allergist-immunologist include concern for reactions away from home, proximity to emergency medical services, risk for various methods of travel including potential for cross-contact exposure resulting in symptoms, and considerations for international travel including language barriers.
Patients with FA must use careful planning and preparation to ensure access to safe food and emergency medications at all times while away from home.
食物过敏是一个重要的公共卫生问题,影响生活的方方面面,旅行也不例外。我们旨在对有关旅行时管理食物过敏的文献进行范围综述。
在过去 20 年中,我们在 Medline 和 Embase 上检索了包含“食物过敏”和“旅行”的英文文章。
该搜索产生了 83 篇参考文献,并对其进行了审查。去除重复项和不相关的材料后,仍有 23 篇讨论旅行和食物过敏的参考文献,其中 13 篇是作为补充材料发表的会议摘要。
患者及其过敏免疫科医生需要考虑的重点包括对离家后发生反应的担忧、紧急医疗服务的接近程度、各种旅行方式的风险,包括可能因交叉接触而导致症状的风险,以及对国际旅行的考虑,包括语言障碍。
食物过敏患者必须仔细规划和准备,以确保在离家时随时可以获得安全的食物和紧急药物。
