Diagnosis and treatment of food allergy.
There have been significant advances in our understanding of food allergy (FA) in children. The spectrum of food-induced disorders has been defined more clearly, strict criteria for diagnosis have been developed, some understanding of immunopathogenetic mechanisms and the natural history of FA have evolved. In this paper the recent advances are discussed.
