Interplay of Walnut and Peanut Allergies in Pediatric Anaphylaxis: Prevalence, Cross-Reactivity, and Therapeutic Implications

This study examines its risk in a large food anaphylactic pediatric cohort enrolled in the Tolerance Induction Program (TIPTM). The evolutionary conservation between peanut and walnut proteins and the clinical observations indicating those with peanut allergy are at increased risk for walnut allergy underscores the potential utility of walnuts in advancing biosimilar protein immunotherapy.
