Abstract
The prevalence of food allergy in children is increasing, which seriously affects the quality of life of children and their families. Among children and adolescents, IgE-mediated food allergy is the most common type. In recent years, allergen specific IgE (sIgE) and skin prick testing (SPT) have been widely used in clinical practice, with component resolved diagnosis (CRD) also gaining traction for precise diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy. However, a challenge persists in clinical practice due to the tendency to over-interpret food allergen test results without considering the patient's clinical history. While food avoidance remains the most effective treatment for IgE-mediated food allergy, there are varying approaches to clinical management. Strict food avoidance for non-severe food allergies may increase the patient's burden and impact their quality of life. To address these challenges, a consensus on the diagnosis and management of IgE-mediated food allergy in children has been developed based on the latest guidelines and research evidence. This consensus aims to guide physicians in standardizing the management of IgE-mediated food allergy in children.

Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine (CJPM), the successor to Chinese Health Journal , was initiated on October 1, 1953. In 1960, it was amalgamated with the Chinese Medical Journal and the Journal of Medical History and Health Care , and thereafter, was renamed as People’s Care .
