Food allergy in children

The most frequent elicitators of food allergy in children are peanuts and tree nuts [ 17]. In France the prevalence of food allergy has been estimated to be 3.2% [18]. Furthermore, in this study, food was identified as the most common cause of anaphylaxis. Here the major identified food allergens besides peanuts and tree nuts were shellfish, wheat and lupine flour [18].

Egg allergy accounts for one of the most prevalent food hypersensitivities in industrialised countries. The estimated prevalence of egg allergy varies between 1.6 and 3.2% and, thus, makes it the second most common cause of food allergy in children. The majority of the relevant egg allergens (Gal d 1 to Gal d 6) have been identified in the egg white Gal d 1 (ovomucoid, 28 kDa), Gal d 2 (ovalbumin, 44 kDa), Gal d 3 (ovotransferrin, 78 kDa) and Gal d 4...
