Prevalence and Clinical Relevance of IgE Sensitization to Profilin in Childhood: A Multicenter Study

Abstract

Profilin sensitization is very frequent among pollen-allergic children, occurs at a very young age and contributes to the development of childhood OAS with a typical pattern of offending foods. Pediatricians should always consider IgE sensitization to profilin while examining pollen-allergic children, even if they are at preschool age.
