Sensitizations to wheat and strawberry: are they a tangible threat to atopic Egyptian.
Background: definite figures of allergy to wheat and strawberries in Egypt are lacking. We investigated IgE-mediated sensitization to wheat and strawberry among a group of allergic children, and the relation between wheat and strawberry sensitization.
Patients and methods: This study comprised 256 children, with physician-diagnosed allergy: bronchial asthma (98 patients), allergic rhinitis (28 patients), atopic dermatitis (53 patients) and food allergy (10 patients). Sensitization to wheat and strawberry was assessed using prick testing, followed by oral challenge test to prove allergy.
Results: Wheat sensitization was observed in 9.4% of the studied children with confirmed allergy in 0.4%. Strawberry sensitization was observed in 7.8% of patients, with 2% confirmed allergy. Either sensitization did not influence response of allergy to treatment. Wheat and strawberry sensitizations were positively correlated.
Conclusion: Wheat and strawberry allergies are not common among Egyptian children with allergic disorders; and did not impact the response to allergy treatment.
