Factors Associated with Development of Food Allergy in Young Children after Liver Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis of 10  Years' Experience

Conclusions We identified eczema at liver transplantation as a significant risk factor for the development of IgE-mediated food allergy after liver transplantation, but not non–IgE-mediated food allergy. Our findings may contribute to a better understanding of the susceptible subgroup requiring special caution and to the establishment of effective strategies for prevention.
