Abstract

The articles reviewed in this month's edition of From the Pages of Allergy Watch were selected to coincide with the food allergy theme. The first article investigates potential inflammatory markers in children who outgrow their food allergy. The article reviewed by Dr Khan investigates the usefulness of behavioral therapy intervention to help allay anxiety for parents of children with food allergy. The article reviewed by Dr Oppenheimer explores the immunologic mechanism associated with the development of tolerance in young children with cow's milk allergy. The last article reported accidental ingestions of foods that may or may not have been listed in the precautionary food label.
