Prenatal and postnatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and allergy symptoms in city children.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests awareness of environmental factors, which may affect children's health since PAH showed to be a risk factor for airway infections and food allergy in children after adjustment for other risk factors. PMID: 27789067 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Greenlandic women ´s lifestyle and diet during pregnancy and child risk for asthma, eczema and allergy: an ACCEPT-substudy.
Greenlandic women´s lifestyle and diet during pregnancy and child risk for asthma, eczema and allergy: an ACCEPT-substudy. Int J Circumpolar Health. 2019 Dec;78(1):1682421 Authors: Haugaard Rasmussen IM, Bonefeld-Jørgensen EC, Long M Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are environmental chemicals bio-accumulating through the food chain. POPs can affect the foetal development of the immune, the neural and the reproductive system. POPs are endocrine disruptors and shown to interfere with child vaccination responses. Our hypothesis is that POPs interfere with the immune system increasing the r...

Food allergy prevention: current evidence
Purpose of review The aim of the article is to critically appraise the most relevant studies in the rapidly advancing field of food allergy prevention. Recent findings Epidemiologic studies identified atopic dermatitis as a strong risk factor for food allergy, with mounting evidence for impaired skin barrier and cutaneous inflammation in the pathogenesis. Additional risk factors include a family history of atopy, the timing of allergenic food introduction into the infant's diet, dietary diversity, vitamin D, and environmental factors, such as dog ownership. Early introduction of allergenic foods (such as peanut) into ...

Dog keeping at home before and during pregnancy decreased the risk of food allergy in 1-year-old children.
Conclusions: Keeping a dog at home before and during pregnancy decreased the risk of food allergy in 1-year-old children. This effect was eliminated in case of having a cat, hamster, guinea pig, or rabbit. PMID: 32489363 [PubMed]

Allergy Prevention: An Overview of Current Evidence.
Authors: Royal C, Gray C Abstract Background: There has been a rapid rise in allergic disorders across the globe. This has increased research into the determinants of allergy development, to identify factors that may be manipulated to mitigate risk. An opportune window in immunological development appears to exist in early life whereby certain exposures may promote or prevent the development of an allergic disposition. Furthermore, factors that affect the composition and diversity of the microbiome in early life have been explored. In this review, we discuss current literature and recommendations relating to exposu...

Clinical Outcomes Following Implementation of a Penicillin Allergy Referral Program
Beta-lactam antibiotics are often used peripartum, posing a challenge for women with reported penicillin allergy. Allergy verification testing is rarely performed during pregnancy, even though most women do not have a true allergy. The implementation of an allergy evaluation program during pregnancy requires multidisciplinary coordination and resources, and limited data exist regarding its impact on clinical outcomes. We sought to evaluate a hospital-wide multidisciplinary initiative that was developed in August 2020 to identify, refer, evaluate, and test penicillin allergy during pregnancy, and assess its association with clinical outcomes.

Associations of gestational and early-life exposure to toxic metals and fluoride with a diagnosis of food allergy or atopic eczema at 1 year of age
In conclusion, our results indicate that gestational cadmium exposure might be associated with food allergy at 1 year of age and, possibly, early-life exposure to fluoride with atopic eczema. Further prospective and mechanistic studies are needed to establish causality.PMID:37422976 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108071

Perinatal risk factors for wheezing phenotypes in the first 8 years of life
Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceWe identified different risk factors for specific childhood wheezing phenotypes. Some of these are modifiable, such as maternal age and body mass index, smoking, day‐care attendance and breastfeeding, and may be important targets for prevention programmes.

Maternal fish and shellfish consumption and wheeze, eczema and food allergy at age two: A prospective cohort study in Brittany, France
This study assesses the association between maternal pre-parturition consumption of seafood and wheeze, eczema, and food allergy in preschool children. Fish and shellfish were studied separately as they differ according to their levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (which have anti-allergic properties) and their levels of contaminants. Methods: The PELAGIE cohort included 3421 women recruited at the beginning of pregnancy. Maternal fish and shellfish intake was measured at inclusion by a food frequency questionnaire. Wheeze, eczema, and food allergy were evaluated by a questionnaire completed by the mother when th...

S3-Guideline on allergy prevention: 2014 update
Abstract The continued high prevalence of allergic diseases in Western industrialized nations combined with the limited options for causal therapy make evidence-based primary prevention necessary. The recommendations last published in the S3-guideline on allergy prevention in 2009 have been revised and a consensus reached on the basis of an up-to-date systematic literature search. Evidence was sought for the period between May 2008 and May 2013 in the Cochrane and MEDLINE electronic databases, as well as in the reference lists of recent review articles. In addition, experts were surveyed for their opini...

Soluble CD14, α-and β-defensins in breast milk: Association with the emergence of allergy in a high-risk population.
Abstract As innate immunity factors in breast milk (BM) modulate infants' immune responses, we investigated whether soluble CD14 (sCD14) and defensin levels in BM are associated with the emergence of allergy in childhood. The randomly selected group of 260 mother-child pairs belonged to a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial where 1223 mothers with fetuses at high risk for allergy received for the 4 last wk of pregnancy a mixture of probiotics, or placebo; after birth, the child received the treatment for 6 mo. Children were followed for the emergence of sensitization and allergic symptoms for 5 y...

T helper cell 2 immune skewing in pregnancy/early life: chemical exposure and the development of atopic disease and allergy
Summary During the last 50 years there has been a significant increase in Western societies of atopic disease and associated allergy. The balance between functional subpopulations of T helper cells (Th) determines the quality of the immune response provoked by antigen. One such subpopulation – Th2 cells – is associated with the production of IgE antibody and atopic allergy, whereas, Th1 cells antagonize IgE responses and the development of allergic disease. In seeking to provide a mechanistic basis for this increased prevalence of allergic disease, one proposal has been the ‘hygiene hypothesis’, which argues that ...
