Lecture 13-food allergy practical Flashcards
Food Allergy
Adverse food reaction
breaks into 2 categories
1)Food allergy (immune medicated)
2)Food intolerance (non immune mediated e.glactose intolerance)
Food allergy (immune mediated) breaks into three categories
-IgE mediated
-Mixed IgE/ Non-IgE-mediated
-Non-IgE-mediated
IgE-mediated
Immediate onset (<60min)
- Allergy
-Anaphylaxis
Mixed IgE/ Non-IgE-mediated
-Atopic dermatitis
-Eosinophilic Oesophagitis
Non-IgE-mediated
-Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis
-Food Protein-induced Enteropathy
-Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis syndrome
-Other enteropathy:coeliac disease
Food allergy can occur in ……% of under 1yr olds
10%
Food allergy can occur in ……% of under 5yr olds
4-8%
When is the reponse to immune mediated food allergy
Quick response 1 hrs of ingestion of food
IgE mediated Food allergy can occur in
Childhood and adulthood
symptoms of IgE mediated Food allergy
Hives, swelling, breathing difficults, vomiting, floppy/pale
what is IgE mediated Food allergy associated with
anaphylaxis
What are common foods that cause IgE mediated Food allergy
Peanut, treenuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, seafood, sesame, but can be other foods
Diagnosis IgE mediated Food allergy
Diagnosis with clinical symptoms and positive SPT or serum IgE antibody tests
They will number what food allergues they are testing and in what part of the body for adults and children
They will number what food allergies they are testing
The will test it on the forearm for adults and they will do it on the babies back
what will the specialist measure after the prick
The specialist will measure how big the wheel and the raise is of the affected area
when do non-IgE mediated food allergy usually occur
These usually occur within the first year of life and usually resolve in early childhood
