Hidden and Rare Food Allergens in Pediatric Age
In food allergy management, the avoidance of the allergen that caused the reaction plays a fundamental role. Nevertheless, that can be thwarted in case of accidental exposure to a rare or hidden allergen, causing the adoption of a monotonous diet and a consequent reduction in the quality of life of...

description | In food allergy management, the avoidance of the allergen that caused the reaction plays a fundamental role. Nevertheless, that can be thwarted in case of accidental exposure to a rare or hidden allergen, causing the adoption of a monotonous diet and a consequent reduction in the quality of life of the patient and their family. The identification of a rare and hidden allergen is an important diagnostic challenge, taking into account that a significant proportion of all food reactions is in reality due to them. The aim of the present review is to provide the pediatric allergist an overview of the possible sources of rare and hidden food allergens, taking into consideration the routes of exposure to these potential allergens with the main examples published in the scientific literature and the distinction between types of direct or cross-contamination. The identification of the allergen responsible for the reaction and the provision of a dietary advice customized for the specific individual’s dietary habits is essential to improve quality of life of the familiar nucleus and to reduce the risk of further allergic reactions. |
