Prevalence of immunoglobulin E‐mediated food allergy in 6–9‐year‐old urban schoolchildren in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey

Abstract

The rate of reported IgE-mediated FA was significantly higher than clinically confirmed FA by means of DBPCFC (odds ratio, 7.46; 95% CI, 4.67-12.01; P<0.0001). The order of allergenic foods was different and somewhat unique to the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey when compared with western countries.
