DL Neuman-Sunshine, JA Eckman, CA Keet… - Annals of Allergy …, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Peanut allergy affects 1% of children, and for those with persistent disease,
few data have been published on trends in peanut-specific immunoglobulin E (P-IgE) levels
or the value of P-IgE in predicting reaction severity. OBJECTIVE: The primary outcome was
the frequency of inadvertent peanut exposure. Secondary outcomes included clinical
characteristics, trends in P-IgE, characteristics of accidental exposures, and predictors of
reaction severity in patients with persistent peanut allergy. METHODS: Records of patients …
