Question:
allergies defined
Answer:
an adverse effect from a specific immune response that is reproducible on
exposure to a given food
food is defined as any substance intended for human consumption including,
drinks, chewing gum, food additives, and dietary supplements
food allergy is an IgE mediated reaction that is potentially systemic and
characteristically rapid in onset
,Question:
types of food allergies
Answer:
IgE mediated: foods penetrate mucosal barriers and reach specific IgE
antibodies bound to mast cells such as histamine
leukotrienes are released inducing an immediate hypersens reaction leading
to symptoms such as wheezing or uticaria
non- IgE mediated
Question:
allergies s/s
Answer:
swelling of the lipds, mouth, uvula and glottis
generalized urticaria
wheezing
severe reactions, anaphylaxis
N/V/D
cramping
light headness or syncope
,Question:
food intolerance
Answer:
adverse reaction to foods and substance ingested in food
-abnormal physiologic response
*** not immune mediated
Question:
most common food allergies
Answer:
cow's milk allergy is the most common food allergy among infants and young
children. resolution is gradual throughout childgood and adolescence
egg allergy is one of the most common food allergies of childhood and it is
frequently outgrown during childhood or adolescence
the presence of egg allergy is a marker for subsequent sensitization to
aeroallergens, as well as the later development of asthma
peanuts & tree nuts: although it was initially believed to be a lifelong
sensitivity in nearly all cases, subsequent studies have shown that tolerance
can develop in appropriately 20-25% of patients
, wheat allergy: common childhood food allergies that is usually outgrown by
adolescence
seafood (fish and shellfish): develop in childhood, although adult onset is
believed to be more common
Question:
related conditions to food allergies
Answer:
young children who are sensitized to foods or have confirmed
immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated food allergy are more likely than their non
allergic peers to develop allergic rhinitis and asthma
a child with food allergy has between a 50 and 90% chance of subsequently
developing asthma
Question:
dx of allergies
Answer:
hx and PE
skin testing
