  • Title: [Food allergy in children with pollinosis in the Western sea coast region].
    Author: Czaja-Bulsa G, Bachórska J.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 1998 Dec; 5(30):338-40. PubMed ID: 10101519.
    Abstract:
    Type and frequency of allergy to food was analysed in groups of children sensitized to grass pollens (170 children), birch pollen (142 children) and cereal pollens (158 children) in comparison with children being not sensitised to pollens (432 children). It has been disclosed that the most frequent food allergens in the whole studied group as well as among the children not sensitized to pollens are: milk, eggs, beef, chocolate, nuts and cereals (positive skin prick tests and allergy manifestations after food consumption). In 10-20% of children sensitised to grass pollens, it was revealed that the prick tests for carrot, celery, apple, tomato and nuts were positive. Manifestations after their consumption are evidenced by 30-70% of the studied subjects. In 20-40% of children sensitised to birch pollen there were positive skin prick tests for celery, carrot, potato, tomato, apple, peaches and grapes. The manifestations after their consumption appear in 20% of children. Eighty-five per cent of children sensitised to cereals pollens display positive skin prick tests for cereal grains. Half of them have signs of food allergy, most frequently after ingesting wheat and rye.
