[Allergic diathesis in infants in the first year of life]
Insights
Allergic diathesis affects over 77% of infants under 12 months in Chelyabinsk. Key risk factors include family history and food sensitization, especially to breast milk substitutes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Immunology
- Epidemiology
Context:
- Clinical and epidemiological screening of infants under 12 months in Chelyabinsk.
- High prevalence of allergic diathesis observed in the study population.
Purpose:
- To diagnose allergic diatheses in infants.
- To identify risk factors for allergic diathesis development.
- To assess sensitization patterns in affected infants.
Summary:
- 77.53% of infants under 12 months were diagnosed with allergic diatheses.
- Ante- and postnatal factors contributing to allergic diathesis were identified.
- Significant family history of allergies and high foodstuff sensitization, particularly to breast milk substitutes, were noted.
Impact:
- Highlights the significant burden of infant allergic diathesis in Chelyabinsk.
- Provides crucial data for understanding and potentially mitigating infant allergies.
- Informs public health strategies and clinical interventions for early childhood allergies.
Abstract:
Allergic diatheses were diagnosed in 77.53 percent of infants aged under 12 months in the town of Chelyabinsk during overall clinical and epidemiological screening. Factors conducive to development of this condition in the ante- and postnatal periods of infant development were detected. The studies revealed a high level of allergy-aggravated anamnesis in blood relatives and parents of infants with allergic diathesis. A high level of sensitization with foodstuff was detected, particularly so with breast milk substitutes.
