Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report
Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2675-2712, August 2026.ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing
