CLINICAL-IMMUNOLOGICAL AND MEDICO-SOCIAL ASPECTS OF ALLERGIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN, DEVELOPMENT OF CRITERIA FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE(LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

The growing number of patients with allergic diseases, which are based on food
allergies, has become one of the leading problems of the XXI century. The expansion of the
spectrum of food allergens responsible for the development of food allergies raises the
question of increasing knowledge in this area for practitioners. The article presents data on
causally significant food allergens and food additives that cause the development of food
allergies, as well as information on the main food proteins and their components involved
in the formation of cross-reactivity. Modern methods of molecular diagnostics and an
algorithm for diagnosing food allergies and food intolerances are presented.
