The Age Specific Microbiome of Children with Milk, Egg, and Peanut Allergy

CONCLUSION: Dysbiosis associates with food allergy, most prominent in peanut-allergic older children. Younger children with and without food allergy have fewer differences in gut microbiota. This correlates with clinical observations of persistence of peanut allergy, and improved efficacy and safety of oral immunotherapy in younger children. Age under 3 should be considered when initiating therapeutic interventions.PMID:38697287 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2024.04.028
