Reaction phenotypes in IgE-mediated food allergy and anaphylaxis

Food allergy encompasses a range of food hypersensitivities. Different clinical phenotypes for food allergy are likely to exist, in much the same way as endotype discovery is now a major research theme in asthma. We discuss the emerging evidence for different reaction phenotypes i.e. symptoms experienced following allergen exposure in food-allergic individuals, and their relevance for clinical practice.
