Background: There has been limited data regarding the incidence of anaphylaxis in Asia. We aim to describe patterns in patient characteristics, triggers and clinical presentation of childhood anaphylaxis in Singapore.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of emergency electronic medical records of children with anaphylaxis.
Background: The rising prevalence of food allergy reported in the United States, UK, and Australia may be attributable to the rise in peanut allergy prevalence. The food allergy prevalence in other parts of the world such as Asia is, however, less well documented.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of cow's milk, egg, and peanut allergies in a general population of Singaporean children below 30 months of age.
Introduction: Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main intestinal intermediate and end products of metabolism of dietary fibers/polyphenols by the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological implication of stool SCFA profiles determined in the first year of life on the clinical presentation of allergic outcomes in childhood.
Methods: From the Growing Up in Singapore Toward healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort, a sub-cohort of 75 participants was recruited.
