Abstract
BACKGROUND Peanut-allergic reactions are heterogeneous ranging from mild symptoms to anaphylaxis. OBJECTIVE Identify peanut-allergic/sensitized phenotypes to personalize patient management. METHODS A combined factor and cluster analysis was used to study the phenotypes of 696 patients diagnosed with peanut sensitization and enrolled in the MIRABEL survey. The method was first applied to the 247 patients with an oral food challenge (OFC). It was then applied to the 449 patients without OFC to confirm the findings in an independent population. RESULTS Three independent clusters emerged from the OFC subgroup. Cluster 1, 'Severe peanut allergy with little allergic multi-morbidity' (123 subjects), had the highest proportion of patients with positive OFC (92%), a medium level of peanut protein inducing a positive OFC (235 mg), lower percentage of allergic multi-morbidity (2% asthma plus atopic dermatitis (A + AD), no cases of A + AD + multiple food allergies (MFA)). Cluster 2, 'Severe peanut allergy with frequent allergic multi-morbidity' (62 subjects), had a high proportion of patients with positive OFC (85%) with the lowest level of peanut protein inducing a positive OFC (112 mg), 89% allergic subjects, 100% with allergic multi-morbidity (A + AD) and 84% with A + AD + MFA. Cluster 3, 'Mild peanut-allergic/sensitized phenotype' (62 subjects), had the lowest mean age, the lowest proportion of patients with positive OFC (53%) with a high level of peanut protein inducing a positive OFC (770 mg), a low percentage of allergic multi-morbidity (48% A + AD + MFA). The two severe peanut-allergic phenotypes were more frequent in girls. The same clusters were found in the subgroup of patients without OFC. CONCLUSION & CLINICAL RELEVANCE Besides the classic markers associated with lower threshold doses of OFC (such as SPT and rAra h 2), allergic multi-morbidity and female gender should also be taken into account to better adapt the progressive dosage of provocation tests.

Abstract
The growing worldwide prevalence of food allergies is drawing attention to the risk of allergenic proteins found in intravenous medicinal products, particularly anaesthetics. Propofol induced anaphylaxis has been described. The presence of soybean oil and egg lecithins in the lipid emulsion highlights their suspected responsibility in certain cases. We report a case of anaphylaxis to propofol in an adult patient without food allergy to soy, but with a latent sensitization to soy. An IgE-dependent allergy to propofol was established by a basophil activation test. Here, we document for the first time the existence of specific IgEs to a 65kDa protein, found in soybean oil and soy flour. In the absence of data on the reactogenic threshold for allergenic food proteins injected intravenously, a risk appears to be established and leads us to recommend a systematic detection for proteins in the refined soybean oil used in the pharmaceutical industry for intravenous products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Legume allergy is the fifth food allergy in Europe. The dun pea (Pisum sativum sativum var. arvense), a pea belonging to the same subspecies as green pea, has been recently introduced as an ingredient in the human food industry. The aims of this study were to evaluate the cross-reactivity between dun pea and other legumes and to search for modification of allergenicity induced by food technologies. METHODS A series of 36 patients with legume and/or peanut allergy was studied. They underwent skin tests to peanut and a panel of legumes including dun pea. Specific IgE to dun pea and cross-reactivity to peanut allergens, particularly to Ara h 1, were evaluated by ELISA. Proteins and allergens of different pea extracts were studied by SDS-PAGE and immunoblots. RESULTS In France and Belgium, 7.7% of severe food anaphylaxis cases were due to legumes. Patients with isolated legume allergy had positive prick tests to dun pea, whereas patients with isolated peanut allergy had negative prick tests. Cross-reactivity between sIgE to peanut and dun pea was observed, and more frequently than expected (96%) peanut-allergic patients with legume sensitization or allergy had sIgE to Ara h 1. Analysis of dun pea allergens suggested that protein epitopes were presented differently in dun pea seeds, isolate and flour. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies, for the first time, a risk of dun pea allergy in legume-allergic patients and in a subset of peanut-allergic patients.

Abstract
New concepts of idiopathic and iatrogenic angioedema underline the role of bradykinin, and the importance of catabolizing enzymes. A case is described of Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and sitagliptin induced angioedema, where AO attacks decreased after the withdrawal of lisinopril but resolved only after the withdrawal of sitagliptin, an inhibitor of dipeptylpeptidase IV. ACE, aminopeptidase P and carboxypeptidase N were decreased down to 17%, 42%, 64% of median references values, and remained low one year after the interruption of these drugs: 56%, 28% and 50%, respectively. The combined deficiency of APP and CPN might enhance the inhibiting effect of the DPP IV inhibitor. The fact that this triple deficiency remained latent before and after the treatment indicates that searching for latent enzyme deficiencies should be carried out when there is intention to treat with a combination of drugs interfering with the bradykinin metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oilseed rape and maize crops represent a large part of agriculture fields in European countries. OBJECTIVE To establish the actual prevalence of sensitization to oilseed rape and maize pollen, and to determine if this is correlated to the amount of exposure as well as to the patient's history of atopy or asymptomatic atopy. METHODS The study was conducted by 69 allergists belonging to the Allergo-Vigilance Network, in collaboration with the French Agency for Safety of food, and compiles the results of skin prick-tests using oilseed rape and maize pollens and seeds, as well as common aeroallergens. The patients were classified into 3 groups: nonatopic, asymptomatic atopy, and actual atopic diseases. RESULTS Among the 5372 subjects studied (2515 children, 2857 adults), 62.3% had an atopic disease, 10.2% had an asymptomatic atopy, and 27.5% were non-atopic. The level of sensitization was higher in the subjects with atopic disease, as compared to those with asymptomatic atopy: oilseed rape pollen: 11.8% vs 8%, maize pollen, 26% vs 19%, oilseed rape seeds, 7.7% vs 6.9%, corn seeds: 8.3% vs 4.8% (p < 0.001). The rate of sensitization was significantly increased in those living in high crop density regions. The association of an atopic disease with a high rate of exposure yielded a higher rate of sensitization of 13.8% and 21.3% for rapeseed pollen, and 22.9% and 30.7% for maize pollen in both children and adults, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of sensitisation to rapeseed and maize pollen is positively correlated to the level of exposure. This prevalence is higher in patients with actual atopic disease as compared to those with asymptomatic atopy. The frequency of sensitization confirms the allergenicity of these plants destined for food supply and demonstrates the importance of monitoring for respiratory allergies to these pollens, not only in workers exposed to these types of crops, but also in atopic patients living in regions that contain a high density of rapeseed and maize fields. Cross-reactivities between pollens and seeds could potentially elicit cross-reacting food allergies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implication of IgG antibodies to wheat has been alleged in gastrointestinal symptoms. Precise data on the specific IgG levels in healthy subjects are lacking. Our objectives are to compare levels of IgG antibodies to wheat protein fractions in healthy non atopic or atopic subjects, and in healthy professional cyclist subjects, taking into account the quantitative consumption of wheat. METHODS 24 control subjects and 26 professional cyclist subjects were selected. ELISA was performed to 2 wheat commercial solutions and to 3 wheat protein fractions. RESULTS No significant difference was observed between non atopic and atopic subjects. For wheat flour extract, physiological norm determined was 3.27 mg/L sIgG concentration +/- 1.25 CI (95% confidence intervals) for the professional cyclists (vs 1.56 mg/L +/- 0.91 CI in control subjects, p-value: 0.040). For gluten solution, physiological norm was 1.42 mg/L +/- 0.60 CI (vs 0.50 +/- 0.24 CI in control subjects, p-value: 0.010). CONCLUSION Atopic and non atopic healthy adults have a similar level of sIgG to wheat. Increased levels of sIgG are observed correlatively with an excessive consumption, and could contribute to homeostasis of tolerance. Studies searching for a pathogenic role of sIgG in certain pathologies should take into account the quantitative consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluten proteins can be modified by deamidation to enhance their solubility and technological applications. However, severe allergic reactions have been reported after the consumption of food products containing deamidated gluten (DG) in subjects tolerant to wheat. This work aimed to characterize allergen profiles for these patients in comparison with those of patients allergic to wheat and to identify IgE-binding epitopes. METHODS Sera were obtained from 15 patients allergic to DG and from nine patients allergic to wheat proteins (WP). IgE-binding profiles were characterized both in ELISA and in a humanized rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL) cell model. Epitopes were mapped on γ- and ω2-gliadin sequences by Pepscan, and effect of glutamine/glutamic acid substitutions was studied. RESULTS Compared to the heterogeneous pattern of allergens detected by IgE from patients allergic to WP, responses of patients allergic to DG were homogeneous. In ELISA, all the sera displayed IgE binding to deamidated γ- and ω2-gliadins and deamidated total gliadins, frequently with high concentrations. These modified proteins induced RBL degranulation with most of the sera from DG-allergic patients. A consensus epitope was found on native γ- and ω2-gliadins (QPQQPFPQ); it was repeated several times in their sequences. The substitution of two or three glutamines of this epitope into glutamic acid at positions Q3 or Q4 and Q8 (QPEEPFPE) increased its recognition the best. CONCLUSION Allergy to DG is a separate entity from wheat allergy. It can be evidenced by strong IgE binding to deamidated gliadins or peptides of the type QPEEPFPE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, B cell epitopes involved in food allergy to wheat are known only for a few allergens and a few categories of patients. OBJECTIVE To characterize the epitopes of different wheat kernel allergens: α-, γ, ω2, and ω5-gliadin, a low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunit, and a lipid transfer protein (LTP1) recognized by allergic patients and by sensitized mice and provide further understanding of the role of structure in determining allergic response. METHODS Sera were obtained from 39 patients suffering from food allergy to wheat. BALB/c mice were sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 by intraperitoneal immunizations. Continuous epitopes bound by IgE were delineated by the Pepscan technique. The response to reduced, alkylated LTP1 was compared with that of the native form to evaluate the importance of protein folding on IgE reactivity. RESULTS Few continuous epitopes of LTP1 reacted with IgE from allergic patients and mice, but one of them was common to several patients and sensitized mice. The unfolded protein was not recognized by either patient or mouse IgE, emphasizing the major role of LTP1 folding and discontinuous epitopes in IgE-binding. In contrast, many continuous epitopes were detected by patient and mouse IgE especially for an ω5-gliadin, which is an unstructured protein, and to a lesser extent, for the other gliadins and a LMW-glutenin subunit. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The conformation of LTP1 appeared to have a strong impact on the type of IgE-binding epitopes elicited by this protein in both man and mouse. The responses in mice sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 were sufficiently comparable with the human response in terms of IgE-binding epitopes to provide support for the use of the mouse model in further investigations.

Abstract
Wheat is an important part of the daily diet of millions of people. However, this staple food is also responsible for food allergies. Ancient cultivars of wheat are gaining interest today but nothing is known about their allergenicity. Many wheat proteins have been reported as causative food allergens, including some prolamin-type gluten proteins, and salt soluble proteins of the albumin/globulin (A/G) type. The objective of this work is to obtain information about the allergenicity of the salt soluble A/G fraction of an ancient diploid cultivar compared with a standard hexaploid bread wheat cultivar using 20 sera from patients with wheat allergy. Differences in the IgE reactivity of sera towards the two genotypes were quantified by ELISA. Qualitative differences in IgE-binding proteins were searched after 1D or 2D electrophoresis. For most of the sera, the concentration in A/G specific IgE was higher for the hexaploid T. aestivum (cv Récital) than for the diploid T. monococcum (cv Engrain). The analysis of 2D spots revealed by immunoblotting leads to the identification by mass spectrometry of 39 IgE-binding proteins, some of them unknown until now as wheat allergens. Numerous allergens were identified, differences observed between Engrain and Récital will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foods containing flaxseed proteins rich inpolyunsaturatedfatty acids are new on the market. OBJECTIVES In a population of patients attending the allergology department, we evaluated the frequency of sensitization to flaxseed, characterized allergens and looked for modifications related to industrial processing. METHODS Natural, heated and extruded flaxseeds were tested using prick-in-prick tests (PIP using the fresh seed), SDS PAGE, immunoblots, immunoblot inhibition and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. RESULTS PIP tests to natural flaxseed were positive in 5.8% of the 1317 patients. 73 of 77 PIP-positive patients were atopic. There was cross-reactivity with five seeds. peanut, soybean, rapeseed, lupine and wheat, and with rape pollen. Immunoblot inhibition by bromelain confirmed the presence of specific IgE to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD). 0.15% of this population presented with food allergy to flaxseed and positive PIP to heated and extruded flaxseed. Two sera showed that clinically relevant allergens in industrial products had MW between 25 and 38 kDa. Sensitization to processed flaxseed characterized only the allergic subjects. FTIR spectroscopy showed major modifications in 3 and alpha structures following industrial processing. CONCLUSION Positive prick tests to natural flaxseed were mainly due to cross-reactions. Flaxseed allergy is rare and could be detected by PIP to heated extruded flaxseed. Increasing consumption callsfor monitoring of clinical risk.

Abstract
Clinical records of 286 consecutive patients reacting positively with objective symptoms to double-blind, placebo-controlled oral peanut challenges at University Hospital, Nancy, France were examined for individual No Observed Adverse Effect Levels (NOAELs) and Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Levels (LOAELs). After fitting to a log-normal probability distribution model, the ED(10) and ED(05) were 14.4 and 7.3mg (expressed as whole peanut), respectively, with 95% lower confidence intervals of 10.7 and 5.2mg, respectively. Compared to results from a previous study where the ED(10) was based upon individual peanut thresholds gleaned from 12 publications, a statistically significant difference was observed between the ED(50)'s, but not the ED(10)'s of the two probability distribution curves. The Nancy patient group contains more sensitive subjects than the group from the published literature thus contributing to the observed differences. Minimum eliciting dose-distributions for patients with histories of more severe reactions (grade 4 or 5; 40 subjects) did not differ significantly from those of patients with histories of less severe reactions (grades 1-3; 123 subjects). These data and this modeling approach could be used to establish population thresholds for peanut-allergic consumers and thereby provide a sound basis for allergen control measures in the food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is used extensively in the pharmaceutical and food industries on account of its various properties. Anaphylactic reactions are rare. It has been reported principally after intra-articular infiltration of sustained-release corticosteroids containing CMC and, very rarely, after barium enema. METHODS A case of pre-lethal anaphylactic shock after barium enema was studied by prick-test, intra-dermal reaction (IDR), leukocyte histamine release test (LHRT), basophil activation test (BAT), cystein-leukotriene release test (CAST) and dot-blot analysis. RESULTS IDR to CMC was positive at a concentration of 10 microg/ml. BAT and CAST were positive. Specific IgE were identified using dot-blot analysis. DISCUSSION This is the third report of CMC-specific IgE and the second of anaphylaxis to CMC associated with a barium suspension in contact with GI tract mucosa. CMC as an excipient in medicinal products may therefore be a risk factor for severe anaphylaxis after injection or following contact with GI tract mucosa. Sensitization and allergic reactions by CMC in food additives have to be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of sensitization to lupin flour in patients consulting allergists, in order to evaluate the risk of primary and secondary allergies to lupin. METHODS A prospective study carried out by members of the Allergy Vigilance Network, using prick-tests with a commercial lupin flour extract in patients with various allergic symptoms. The study design classified patients into four groups: peanut allergy, current atopic disease, latent atopy, no atopy. Data were collected and analysed by Network coordinators. RESULTS Over a two-month period, 88 French and Belgian allergists tested 5,366 patients: 2,680 children and 2,686 adults aged over 16 years. Of the 2,680 children, 11.15% presented with peanut allergy. The frequency of cross-reactivity with lupin was 17.1% for patients with peanut allergy, 2.5% for children with current atopic disease and 1.7% for healthy children with latent atopy. In the 2,686 adults, peanut allergy was diagnosed in 1.86% of patients with cross-reactivity to lupin in 14.6%. Sensitization to lupin was detected in 3.7% of patients with current atopic disease and in 1.8% of those with latent atopy. CONCLUSION The relative frequency of latent sensitisation to lupin in patients of all ages presenting with atopic disease is a new factor indicating the likelihood of an increase in primary food allergies to lupin flour. This justifies the recent decision requiring mandatory labelling of lupin, and shows the need to inform consumers who may be unaware that this ingredient is being used increasingly. Sensitization to lupin should be searched by prick-tests in any case of peanut allergy. Prick-test to lupin may be valuable whenever a food allergy is suspected when no current food allergens have been identified.

Abstract
Wheat grain is a major staple of our diet. However, proteins derived from wheat grain have been implicated in both respiratory and food allergies, as well as in contact hypersensitivity. Numerous wheat allergens are present in the different fractions of wheat grain: a-amylase/trypsin inhibitor and lipid transfer protein are found in the water/salt soluble fraction, and omega5-gliadins and LMW-glutenins have been detected in the gluten fraction. This review discusses what is currently known about wheat grain proteins and allergens. The type of IgE-binding profiles (allergens or even epitopes) in patients with wheat food allergy as a function of age, symptoms, or genetic variability of wheat cultivars provides interesting and useful data for developing hypoallergenic foods as well as new tools for diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antigenic profiles obtained by ELISA with IgE from patients with wheat food allergy (WFA) established that major allergens are albumins/globulins (AG) for children suffering from atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS), omega5-gliadins for adults suffering from wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA), anaphylaxis or urticaria and low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunits for patients with anaphylaxis. We aimed to characterize a new mast cell transfectant for its ability to degranulate with wheat proteins and patient sera and compare these results to those obtained by ELISA. METHODS Thirty sera from patients with WFA were tested: 14 with AEDS (group 1) and 16 with WDEIA, anaphylaxis or urticaria (group 2). An IgE Fc receptor (FcepsilonRI) humanized rat RBL-2H3 line was established by transfection with cDNAs encoding alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunits for the human IgE receptor. RESULTS A humanized RBL clone was selected for its capacity to express mRNA alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunits of FcepsilonRI, to bind allergen-specific human IgE and to degranulate. In group 1, sera induced enhanced degranulation with AG extract, but rarely reacted with gliadins and glutenins. In group 2, half of the sera showed degranulation with LMW glutenins whereas the AG fraction and lipid transfer proteins were rarely positive. omega5-Gliadins did not appear as a major allergen in degranulation assays, although functional allergen-specific IgE was measurable in appreciable amounts. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that in wheat food allergen evaluation, correlation exists between mast cell degranulation and IgE measurements, depending on the type of allergen. Therefore, the biological activity of some allergen types may also be affected by other parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of severe anaphylaxis, between 1 and 3 per 10,000, has increased sharply over recent years, with a rate of lethality of 1%. The economic burden is unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the economic costs of anaphylaxis, including direct costs of treatment, hospitalization, preventive and long-care measures, and the indirect cost: absenteeism. METHODS Analysis of 402 patients of anaphylaxis declared by 384 allergists was reported to the Allergy Vigilance Network. The global cost was estimated from the national data of hospital admissions: ICD-10 coding available for 2003, 2004 and 2005. RESULTS Three work/classroom days were lost per patient. Diagnosis required oral challenge with hospitalization in 18% of cases. The estimated mean total cost was 1895 euros for food- and drug-related anaphylaxis (5610 euros for the most severe), and 4053 euros for Hymenoptera anaphylaxis. National statistics recorded 2575 patients in 2005; 22% more than in 2003. The estimated annual cost was 4,789,500 euros. The possible reasons for this being an under-estimate include: data coming only from hospitalized patients, poor identification by medical teams unfamiliar with ICD-10 codes, peri-operative anaphylaxis being insufficiently declared, rush-immunotherapy and maintenance treatments for Hymenoptera anaphylaxis. Similarly, the extra cost of cow milk substitutes, as well as insurance costs where deaths are followed by litigation were not taken into account. CONCLUSIONS The mean cost of anaphylaxis was 1895-5610 euros in nonfatal patients. The prevalence was under-estimated because of many biases, leading to under-estimation of the national cost. Further studies would be necessary to evaluate the value of preventive strategies.

Abstract
Body piercing and tattooing are increasingly common. As well as the risk of infection and scarring, allergic reactions are also reported. This is the first multi-centre study to assess the frequency of consultations for allergy. Of the 138 allergologists who answered our two questionnaires, 7.9% reported allergic reactions associated with body piercing and 18.9% identified allergies associated with temporary henna-based tattoos. Contact eczema, rhinitis and urticaria were related to nickel allergy. Contact eczema, generalized eczema, pruritus and edema were caused by tattoos. In 20 out of 28 cases, sensitization to para-phenylenediamine (PPD) was observed. The authors review the literature, underscoring the risk of serious allergy to PPD, the need for long-term monitoring of the risk of skin lymphocytoma, the difficulties met during treatment and the necessity of regulating tattooing and body piercing practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy is treated by avoidance diets in order to prevent anaphylactic reactions and to cure chronic associated symptoms. However, the natural history is left unchanged. OBJECTIVE To search for a beneficial effect of an oral desensitization protocol to allergenic foods in IgE-dependent milk or egg allergies in children. METHODS 60 children with documented cow's milk allergy (13 months-6.5 years), and 90 children with egg allergy (12 months-8 years), were consecutively included after 6-12 months of avoidance diet, if a SBPCFC to 60 ml milk (60 ml) or to 965 mg of raw egg white was negative. They were randomized for uninterrupted avoidance or oral desensitization (group A or OD). Six months later, a new SBPCFC was performed with, up to 200 ml of milk or 7g of raw egg white. Prick tests and specific IgE levels were carried out simultaneously. RESULTS Data were obtained for 57 children with CMA (30 A and 27 OD), and 84 children with EA (35 A and 49 OD). The two groups (AD or OD group) were similar with regard to means of ages, the size of PT wheals and the level of IgEs at baseline. MILK ALLERGY: A SBPCFC to milk was positive in 11.1% of those following OD vs. 40% after A (p < .025). The size of PT decreased after OD and increased after A (-3.4 mm vs. +0.84 mm; p < .002). EGG ALLERGY: The SBPCFC to egg was positive in 30.6% after OD vs. 48.6% after A (p < .1). After 6 months, in the OD group, the mean size of the PT and the level of specific IgE were significantly reduced compared to the A group. In the A group, the threshold of reactivity was often lower, or more serious symptoms were observed. CONCLUSION Oral desensitization helps the egg and milk allergic children to overcome their allergies. Since the avoidance of these foods is likely to increase sensitization as well as to lower the threshold of reactivity, an active treatment is required. Further attempts to standardize the procedures of oral desensitization are expected.

Abstract
The long QT syndrome is a rare disease. The prevalence is estimated at 1/5 000 to 1/20,000. Numerous drugs are contra-indicated because they can lengthen the QT interval. A case of pollen allergy in an adolescent with LQTS is described. The possibility to prescribe anti-H1 drugs is reviewed since cases of torsades de pointe and even deaths have been reported for terfenadine and astemizole. Diphenhydramine, orphenadrine and hydroxyzine are contra-indicated. No accidents and no effects on the QT interval have been published for ebastine, fexofenadine, desloratadine and levocetirizine. These anti-H1 drugs could be used with great care, without any association with drugs resulting in low serum potassium level. Azelastine eye drops have been authorized and a routine protection by inhaled corticosteroids during the pollinic period has been advised in this adolescent treated by betablockers.

Abstract
The risk of allergy to food proteins in cosmetics and topical medicinal agents is poorly evaluated. IgE dependent contact urticaria and contact dermatitis are observed. Eleven cases (7 infants and 4 women) are reported. Wheat, egg, oats, milk, peanut proteins are incriminated by prick-tests or atopy patch-tests. Cases are related to a previous food allergy and other ones may indicate primary sensitization to topical creams mainly used for skin care of atopic dermatitis. A consecutive exercise induced anaphylaxis to wheat and a long lasting sensitization to wheat have been observed. A clear and accurate identification of food allergens in cosmetics and topical agents is necessary. Given the hyper-permeability of infant skin, topical products containing food proteins of known allergenicity are contra-indicated for neonates, and for infants with atopic dermatitis, which may be associated with skin hyper-permeability.
