Keet C, Pistiner M, Plesa M, et al. - Researchers investigated peanut allergy (PA) risk prior to peanut introduction for infants suffering from (1) moderate-severe eczema, (2) another food allergy (FA), and/or (3) a first-degree relative with peanut allergy (FH). Infants aged 4 to 11 months were included, enrollment visit was completed by 321 subjects. PA was present in 18% of 195 with eczema, 19% of 59 with FA, and 4% of 201 with FH. The presence of PA was found in only 1% of 115 with FH and no eczema. Factors related to PA in those with eczema were: older age, higher SCORing Atopic Dermatitis score, black, or Asian race and suspected or diagnosed other FA. Findings revealed that infants with moderate-severe eczema commonly developed PA, whereas FH without eczema did not represent a major risk factor, this suggests that only those with significant eczema deserve screening. Introduction at later ages, even within the first year of life, was identified to be related to a higher risk of PA in those suffering from eczema, and therefore, introduction of peanut as early as possible was supported.
