    Summary

    Multiple food allergy, affecting over three foods, is common in boys and women. Most patients also have inhalant allergies, suggesting a shared underlying mechanism for various allergies.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Allergology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Multiple food allergy is defined as sensitivity to three or more foods.
    • Understanding the demographics, clinical impact, and common triggers of multiple food allergy is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report findings from a study of 250 private patients with multiple food allergy.
    • To identify patient demographics, clinical manifestations, and prevalent allergens associated with multiple food allergy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 250 private patients diagnosed with multiple food allergy.
    • Assessment of patient demographics, clinical symptoms, and allergen reactivity (both food and airborne).

    Main Results:

    • Multiple food allergy affects both sexes and all ages, with higher prevalence in boys and women.
    • Clinical manifestations resemble inhalant allergy but involve more widespread systemic disturbances.
    • 86% of patients exhibited reactivity to airborne allergens (molds, pollens, dust, dander), indicating a potential link between food and inhalant allergies.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple food allergy is a significant condition with distinct demographic patterns.
    • The high co-occurrence of inhalant allergy suggests that food and inhalant allergies may share fundamental immunological pathways.
    • Common food allergens include milk, chocolate, corn, egg, tomato, peanut, and citrus fruits.
