The rising burden of allergic diseases in childhood requires a compelling need to identify individuals at risk for atopy very early in life or even predict the onset of food allergy and atopic dermatitis since pregnancy. The development and clinical phenotypes of atopic diseases in childhood depend on a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors, such as allergen exposure, air pollution, and infections. Preventive strategies may include avoidance measures, diet supplements, and early complementary food introduction. Overall, the management of allergic diseases has been improving to date toward a patient's tailored approach. This review will cover the current understanding of risk factors, prediction, and management of food allergy and atopic dermatitis in childhood and discuss how these may contribute to the modification of the natural history of food allergy and atopic dermatitis. 相似文献

We eat approximately two to three tons of food in our lifetime, but most people do not have an adverse reaction to foods. Many people believe that they have an allergic reaction to foods; however, the actual incidence confirmed by history and challenges suggests a prevalence rate closer to 2% to 8% in young infants and less than 2% in adults. 相似文献

Fetal echocardiography can provide useful information for the evaluation of fetal arrhythmias. Between 1980 and 1993, 44 fetuses with arrhythmias were diagnosed in utero at 12 and 40 weeks of gestation in Kurume University Hospital. Fetal bradycardia, tachycardia and ectopic beats were revealed in 17, seven and 20 fetuses, respectively, and their clinical features and prognosis were evaluated. In the 17 fetuses with bradycardia, eight were associated with congenital heart defect, and six of these developed to fetal hydrops. Of the 17 fetuses, four died in utero, one was terminated, and six died after birth. The other six cases survived. Three of these had a pacemaker implanted after birth. In the seven fetuses with tachycardia, transplacental anti-arrhythmic drugs were administered in five cases and conversion of the arrhythmia was achieved in four. None of the cases was associated with any congenital heart defect, and none died. Three infants had paroxysmal tachycardia postnatally. In the 20 fetuses with ectopic beats, arrhythmia was observed postnatally in 10, but all of these were resolved within 3 months after birth. Fetal bradycardias carried a poor prognosis in most cases and further studies are required to establish effective treatment. Some cases of fetal tachycardia developed recurrent tachycardia postnatally. Close follow-up of the newborn is therefore necessary. 相似文献

The prevalence of food allergy in childhood increased in the last decades, especially in Westernized countries where this phenomenon has been indicated as a second wave of the allergic epidemic. In parallel, scientific interest also increased with the effort to explain the reasons of this sudden rise and to identify potential protective and risk factors. A great attention has been focused on early exposures to allergenic foods, as well as on other nutritional factors or supplements that may influence the immune system in a positive direction. Both interventions on maternal diet before birth or during breastfeeding and then directly on infant nutrition have been investigated. Furthermore, the natural history of food allergy also seems to be changing over time; IgE‐mediated cow's milk allergy and egg allergy seem to be more frequently a persistent rather than a transient disease in childhood, as described in the last years. Food avoidance and the emergency drugs in case of an adverse event, such as epinephrine self‐injector, are currently the first‐line treatment in patients with food allergies, with a resulting impairment in the quality of life and social behaviour. During the last decade, oral immunotherapy emerged as an optional treatment with remarkable results, offering a novel perspective in the treatment for and management of food allergy. 相似文献

Approximately 2000 neonates contract infection due to herpes simplex virus each year in the United States. Although herpes simplex virus type 2 is responsible for most neonatal infections, approximately 30% of infections are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1. Infections are categorized by extent of disease into skin/eye/mouth, central nervous system and disseminated disease categories. Each disease category is responsible for roughly one third of neonatal infections. Mortality is highest in disseminated disease. Morbidity is highest for survivors of central nervous system infection. Treatment with high dose parenteral acyclovir (60 mg/kg/day) for 14–21 days improves outcome. Since most neonatal infections are acquired from contact with infected maternal genital tract secretions, potential preventative strategies include: Caesarean delivery, serologic screening of pregnant women, prophylactic acyclovir and vaccination. The two strategies currently accepted by most obstetricians are Caesarean delivery for women with active lesions or prodromal symptoms and prophylactic acyclovir for women with gestational herpes. 相似文献

Two children with food allergy could not be successfully managed on dietary restriction alone. There was a good response to treatment with oral sodium cromoglycate but none to placebo treatment. The use of sodium cromoglycate in the management of food allergy should be studied further. 相似文献

Congenital toxoplasmosis, like congenital syphilis and perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection, usually is not apparent clinically in the newborn, and, because screening is seldom performed, the condition seldom is entertained as a diagnosis. Early recognition and treatment of Toxoplasma infection in pregnant women may prevent transplacental infection and avoid its clinical expression when the infant reaches young adulthood. New programs for screening and early diagnosis have awakened interest among pediatricians in early treatment of this infection. This article describes the parasite that causes the infection, Toxoplasma gondii; its epidemiology; the clinical manifestations of infection; diagnostic tests; treatment; and prevention.

Toxoplasmosis is a rare disease caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Most persons with toxoplasmosis in the United States are asymptomatic, but if a woman is infected during pregnancy, the parasite can cross the placenta and cause congenital toxoplasmosis in the fetus. The severity of congenital toxoplasmosis depends on when in the pregnancy the mother is exposed, but it can cause ocular and central nervous system disease as well as lead to growth failure and hearing and vision abnormalities. Congenital toxoplasmosis is treated with a combination of pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, and leucovorin. It is important for pediatric nurse practitioners to be aware of the clinical presentation and treatment of congenital toxoplasmosis. 相似文献

Food allergy is an important public health problem affecting 5% of infants and children in Korea. Food allergy is defined as an immune response triggered by food proteins. Food allergy is highly associated with atopic dermatitis and is one of the most common triggers of potentially fatal anaphylaxis in the community. Sensitization to food allergens can occur in the gastrointestinal tract (class 1 food allergy) or as a consequence of cross reactivity to structurally homologous inhalant allergens (class 2 food allergy). Allergenicity of food is largely determined by structural aspects, including cross-reactivity and reduced or enhanced allergenicity with cooking that convey allergenic characteristics to food. Management of food allergy currently focuses on dietary avoidance of the offending foods, prompt recognition and treatment of allergic reactions, and nutritional support. This review includes definitions and examines the prevalence and management of food allergies and the characteristics of food allergens. 相似文献

Allergic disease is a major contributor to illnesses and mortality worldwide. Food hypersensitivity is often the first phenomenon
in the allergic march that includes gastroenteropathy, eczema, asthma and hay fever. Recent evidence indicates that prevention
of food hypersensitivity in early life is associated with reduction in the incidence of eczema and asthma in later childhood.
Strategies for prevention include exclusive breast feeding, restriction of mother’s diet during lactation, hydrolyzed formula,
delayed introduction of allergenic solid foods and reduced exposure to house dust mites and tobacco smoke. This is a highly
cost-beneficial and cost-effective approach. 相似文献
