Abstract:
Objective To investigate the food allergy status of infants and young children in community in Shanghai and the influencing factors.Methods The infants aged 0 ～ 36 months in Huamu community in Shanghai were selected and detected with total total serum IgE and 20 specific IgE.Food elimination tests and food stimulation test was used to confirm the allergy.All the confirmed infants were followed up for 6 months.Results The rate of food allergy in children was 9.82％.The most common allergens were egg whites (39.2％) and milk (27.4％).The most common clinical manifestation was eczema.There was no significant difference in food allergy between infants with different sex and birth ways (P ＞ 0.05).With the decreasing of age,the food allergy rate increased significantly.The rate of food allergy was significantly higher in infants with antibiotics,parental allergies and non breast-feeding infants than that with unused antibiotics,non parental allergies and breast feeding.Logistic factor analysis showed that age,use of antibiotics during pregnancy,breast feeding,and parental allergy were the risk factors for food allergy in infants.Conclusion Age,use of antibiotics during pregnancy,breast-feeding,and parents'allergies can significantly affect food allergies in infants and children.
