Role of probiotics in food hypersensitivity

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2002
The definition of probiotics has evolved concomitant with a resurgence of research interest in host-microbe crosstalk. The original definition stated that the live active culture beneficially affects the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance, while current conceptions are based on target- and site- specific effects of clearly defined ...

ANAPHYLAXIS AND FOOD HYPERSENSITIVITY

IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR FOOD HYPERSENSITIVITY

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 1999
Foods are an important cause of severe acute hypersensitivity reactions including fatal anaphylaxis. Food allergy has been estimated to be the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis treated in emergency rooms. 69 Severe reactions to foods can occur at all ages, from infants receiving cow's milk or casein or whey hydrolysate formulas 21 , 57 to children,

Food hypersensitivity in children

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 1998
Adverse reactions to foods involving abnormal immune reactions to food antigens occur in 2-7% of the North American population; the numbers are perhaps higher in children. Both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated allergic responses occur. IgE-mediated allergic responses to foods are the most dramatic and perhaps the most easily diagnosed type of food ...
