Article Synopsis
- Adverse reactions to food have increased globally, with food allergies affecting 2-4% of adults and 6-8% of children, displaying a range of symptoms from mild to severe, necessitating allergen testing.
- The study aimed to profile patients with suspected food allergies in Mexico and analyzed data from 1,971 patients, revealing no gender differences but a bimodal age distribution with peaks at ages 2 and 35.
- Most patients had prior respiratory allergies, 80% experienced symptoms before consultation, and skin reactions were most common, with only 5% reporting anaphylaxis; thus, proper diagnostic confirmation is crucial despite high suspicion.
