Tree nuts are one of the most common foods causing acute allergic reactions and nearly all tree nuts have been associated with fatal allergic reactions. Despite their clinical importance, tree nut allergy epidemiology remains understudied and the prevalence of tree nut allergy in different regions of the world has not yet been well characterised. We aimed to systematically review the population prevalence of tree nut allergy in children and adults. We searched three electronic databases (OVID…

In this Northern European cohort, subjects with clinically relevant tree nut allergy were generally allergic to two or more tree nuts and close to half of them also to peanuts, consistent with a strong sIgE correlation between hazelnut and walnut and a close to total sIglobulin E correlation between cashew and pistachio.

New findings are that a large proportion of those aged 0–1 yr with nut allergy are already sensitized (have specific IgE) to multiple nut types, implying in utero or early life sensitization; those who present later in childhood are increasingly likely to be sensitized and clinically allergic to multiple nuts.
