Prevalence of allergic disorders and risk factors associated with food allergy in Turkish preschoolers.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the introduction of egg-white into infant diet at 6-12 months of life appeared as an independent risk for any food allergy, none of the patients developed anaphylaxis. Age at symptom onset and outgrowing food allergy were similar compared to those introduced egg-white after 12 months. We recommend promoting exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life, and avoidance of prolonged restrictive diets for children with food allergy.
