  • Title: Food-induced anaphylaxis.
    Author: Sampson HA.
    Journal: Novartis Found Symp; 2004; 257():161-71; discussion 171-6, 207-10, 276-85. PubMed ID: 15025397.
    Abstract:
    Food allergies affect approximately 2% of the population and are the single leading cause of anaphylaxis occurring outside of hospitals in westernized countries. Given the frequency of IgE-mediated food allergy, it is imperative that physicians appropriately diagnose food-allergic patients, educate them in the appropriate measures to prevent accidental ingestion of food allergens, teach them to recognize early signs of anaphylaxis, and arm them with medications and a treatment plan to utilize in case of the 'almost inevitable' accidental ingestion.
