Prevalence and Clinical Impact of IgE-Mediated Food Allergy in School Children With Asthma: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Although food-induced respiratory reactions in children with asthma were rare, they were classified as severe and associated with worse morbidity, greater severity, and poorer control. As the most commonly observed symptoms were coughing and rhinitis, which can be easily misdiagnosed, a proper diagnosis is essential for improving the management of both clinical conditions.
