A randomized, controlled, single blind study was carried out to compare the efficacy and safety of oxatomide and disodium chromoglycate in the treatment of adverse reactions to food. Twenty-three patients (16F and 7M) with urticaria (16 patients), respiratory (5 patients), intestinal (15 patients) and/or neurological symptoms (3 patients) were treated for 60 days: 14 (9F and 5M; mean ± SD age 36.3 ± 13.8 years) with oxatomide, 60 mg every evening and 9 (7F and 2M; 31.5 ± 15.1 years) with disodium chromoglycate, 500 mg three times a day. Both therapies lasted two months. On admission and after 15,30 and 60 days skin (wheals, itching, vesicular blisters, scratching lesions), respiratory (rhinorrhea, sneezing, coughing, wheezing), intestinal (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain and/or cramps) and neurological (headache, irritability) symptoms were assessed. Wheals decreased in number and size in both groups (p<0.005). Itching became less severe in the two groups (p<0.05), although the improvement in the oxatomide group was faster. Vesicular blisters, present in one patient in the oxatomide group at baseline, disappeared by days 15 and 30, reappearing in a mild form at the end of the study. The frequency of scratching lesions decreased. Sneezing and wheezing disappeared in both groups. Digestive system symptoms also improved. Both treatments were effective as regards cutaneous, intestinal and respiratory symptoms, with a significant reduction of itching, wheals and vesicular blisters and the complete relies of intestinal disorders. The drugs were well tolerated.

The Relationship

Asthma, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis are common disorders affecting children that often coexist. Children can develop atopic dermatitis in infancy and later develop food allergies as new foods are introduced. In these highly atopic children, respiratory symptoms can also develop. This pattern of allergic disease progression has been termed the “atopic march.” Allergic (TH2-biased) inflammation and allergen sensitization are underlying mechanisms of these disorders, and control of one disease may affect the outcomes of the other disorders. Therefore, an understanding of the relationship between these allergic entities is important.

Gastrointestinal Manifestations

Introduction. Pediatric allergy problems are widely spread among children of almost all age groups. Number of cases with combined allergic a digestive disorders increases and study of gastrointestinal lesions in children with allergies became an urgent medical and social problem. It is based on the increasing frequency of both allergy and pathology of the digestive system, increasing severity of cases and necessity to analyze type of gastrointestinal disorder in children with allergy and correlation among it. Objective. To study the clinical features of gastrointestinal symptoms in children with food allergies. Materials and methods. 169 pediatric patients 3–17 years old were examined. The main group was of 105 children with food allergies, the control group – 64 children without allergies. Verification of food allergy and pathology of the digestive system was carried out in accordance with the current protocols. All patients had skin prick tests, provocative test, determination of specific IgE. All patients were divided into 3 groups by age: 1st – 3–6 years old, 2nd – 7–11 years old, 3rd – 12–17 years old. The results were processed by the methods of variation statistics. Results. Gastrointestinal manifestations were observed in children of all age groups (59 %, 65 %, 74 %). Skin manifestations predominated in the 1st and the 3rd group. Respiratory symptoms – in groups 2 and 3. A combination (more often of skin and gastrointestinal) manifestations was found in group 3. Pain syndrome in children of the main group was characterized by moderate intensity (55.2 %), more often not associated with food intake (45.7 %), localized in the umbilical region (58 %), less often in the epigastrium (23.4 %), in 15 % there was no pain. Dyspeptic syndrome was manifested by nausea (36.2 %), decreased appetite (25.7 %) and belching (17.1 %). Dyspeptic syndrome was absent in 34.3 % of patients. The manifestations of asthenovegetative syndrome were noted in 38.1 % of children in the main group. The correlation between the type of allergen and the reason of gastrointestinal symptoms has not been identified. Conclusions. A variety of clinical manifestations of food allergy has been proven in the form of skin, gastrointestinal, respiratory symptoms and their combination. Gastrointestinal symptoms indicate the presence of functional disorders of the digestive tract. With age, the variety of food allergens increases, without qualitatively affecting the nature of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Adolescents And Adults

Four to eight percent of the population are estimated to be food-allergic. Most food allergies in adolescents and adults are acquired on the basis of cross-reaction to pollen allergens. Theses allergens are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Therefore pollen-allergic patients might acquire a multitude of different plant food allergies, and even react to novel foods to which they have never previously been exposed. A curative therapy for food allergy does not yet exist. Food-allergic patients have to rely on strict avoidance diets, The widespread use of industrially processed foods poses a general problem for food-allergic patients. Although the most frequent allergens must be declared openly in the list of ingredients, involuntary contamination with allergy-provoking compounds can occur. The precautionary labelling “may contain” is sometimes applied even if the chance of contamination is very low; on the other hand, foods not declared to contain possible traces of allergenic components may actually contain relevant amounts of allergenic proteins. Switzerland is the only country in Europe with legal regulations on contamination by allergenic food; however, the allowance of 1 g/kg is too high to protect a relevant proportion of food-allergic individuals.

AbstractNonketotic hyperglycemic chorea-ballism (NKHCB), also known as diabetic striato-pathy (DS) by some, is a rare complication of diabetes mellitus and uncommon in children. We report a case of a 10 11/12-year-old boy of Asian descent with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and multiple food allergies presenting with bilateral chorea-ballism. His brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed developmental venous anomaly in right parietal lobe and right cerebellum, no focal lesions or abnormal enhancements. Choreiform movements resolved with correction of hyperglycemia. Children and adolescents with a movement disorder should be evaluated for diabetes mellitus, especially with increasing prevalence and insidious nature of T2DM associated with obesity.
