Promising results
Las The most common food allergies in the early years of childhood are allergies to milk and eggs.
Los Egg allergy symptoms usually manifest immediatelywhich means a reaction within two hours after ingestion.
“The most common is the appearance of skin symptoms, such as prior erythema, facial or generalized urticaria, but asthma symptoms (bronchospasms, wheezing, cough), rhinitis, conjunctivitis or digestive symptoms may also appear, with diarrhea, vomiting, nausea. If more than two organs are affected, it is considered anaphylaxis. indicates Dr. Mercedes Escarrer, coordinator of the Atopic Dermatitis and Skin Allergy working group of the SEICAP.
The study highlighted the potential of a treatment of atopic dermatitis as a component of a prevention plan in the development of egg allergy in children. To do this, they participated 650 babies between 7 and 13 weeks with atopic dermatitis. Each one was assigned randomized to early skin treatment with improved skin barrier function or conventional reactive treatment with topical corticosteroids.
Los Results of this part of the study came at 28 weeks, with an oral egg challenge in all of them. It was thus proven that early treatment with improved skin barrier function significantly reduced egg allergy compared to those who received only conventional treatment: 31,4 % y 41,9 %.
Recommendations for skin with atopic dermatitis
The SEICAP pediatric allergists also offer a series of recommendations and advice for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in children.
