Abstract:
Food allergy and asthma may frequently coexist.Children with food allergy are more than 2 to 4 times as likely to have other atopic conditions such as asthma,eczema,or respiratory allergy compared to children without food allergies.One third of children with food allergy have asthma and 4％-8％ of children with asthma have food allergies.Double-blind place-controlled food challenge test is the best way to investigate the relationships of asthma and food allergy.Apart from allergen avoidance in patients with documented IgE-mediated food allergies,there are no recommendations to avoid any foods in the treatment of asthma.For patients with asthma and food allergy together,information should be delievered to parents in order to recognize and avoid to affending foods properly.
