| There is an impression that
children today are experiencing allergic reactions to an increasing variety
of foods. We compared two separate groups of children and young adults with
atopic dermatitis evaluated a decade apart and found no difference in
sensitization rates or overall clinical reactivity to a variety of foods.
Allergies to egg, milk, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts, and seafood continue
to account for
90% of food-allergic reactions over the past decade. |
