FOOD ALLERGY: mechanisms, diagnosis and management
Journal Title: Hong Kong Journal of Paediatrics Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Food Allergy (FA) is a dynamic field. It is not only evolving but also increasing in prevalence and incidence all over the world. The term ‘Food allergy’ is often misused, not only by patients, their families but also by health professionals. All Adverse Food reactions are erroneously labeled as ‘Food allergy’. This has to be recognized and avoided in order to make a proper evaluation, diagnosis and management.
