Differences between multi-triggered and single-triggered food anaphylaxis in children: a real life study

Background. Food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) is a severe form of food allergy, and literature data about multi-triggered FIA is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the differences between multi-triggered and single-triggered food anaphylaxis in children. Methods. The study included pediatric patie...

description Background. Food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) is a severe form of food allergy, and literature data about multi-triggered FIA is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the differences between multi-triggered and single-triggered food anaphylaxis in children. Methods. The study included pediatric patients (age 100 IU/mL was identified as a predictive factor for multi-triggered FIA (Odds ratio (95% CI): 2.46 (1.40-4.30), p=0.001). Conclusions. FIA with multiple trigger foods was detected in approximately a quarter of the children with FIA. Multi-triggered FIA was associated with higher rates of atopic disease, asthma, eosinophilia, and increased total IgE levels. A total IgE level higher than 100 IU/mL was a risk factor for multi-triggered FIA. This suggests that high IgE levels may be a warning sign for clinicians to be vigilant for multiple food triggers in the screening and follow-up of FIA patients.
