Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is not established whether the risk of anaphylaxis induced by peanuts or tree nuts in children increases at specific times of the year. We aimed to evaluate the risk of peanut- and tree-nut-induced anaphylaxis during certain cultural holidays in Canadian children. METHODS: We collected data on confirmed pediatric cases of anaphylaxis presenting to emergency departments in 4 Canadian provinces as part of the Cross-Canada Anaphylaxis Registry. We assessed the mean number of cases per day and incidence rate ratio (IRR) of anaphylaxis induced by unknown nuts, peanuts and tree nuts presenting during each of 6 holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Diwali, Chinese New Year and Eid al-Adha) versus the rest of the year. We estimated IRRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Poisson regression. RESULTS: Data were collected for 1390 pediatric cases of anaphylaxis between 2011 and 2020. Their median age was 5.4 years, and 864 (62.2%) of the children were boys. During Halloween and Easter, there were higher rates of anaphylaxis to unknown nuts (IRR 1.66, 95% CI 1.13-2.43 and IRR 1.71, 95% CI 1.21-2.42, respectively) and peanuts (IRR 1.86, 95% CI 1.12-3.11 and IRR 1.57, 95% CI 0.94-2.63, respectively) compared to the rest of the year. No increased risk of peanut- or tree-nut-induced anaphylaxis was observed during Christmas, Diwali, Chinese New Year or Eid al-Adha. Anaphylaxis induced by unknown nuts, peanuts and tree nuts was more likely in children aged 6 years or older than in younger children. INTERPRETATION: We found an increased risk of anaphylaxis induced by unknown nuts and peanuts during Halloween and Easter among Canadian children. Educational tools are needed to increase awareness and vigilance in order to decrease the risk of anaphylaxis induced by peanuts and tree nuts in children during these holidays., In Canada, up to 9% of children have at least 1 food allergy. (1-4) Anaphylaxis--an allergic reaction involving at least 2 organ systems or resulting in hypotension (5)--is the most [...]

Keywords: anaphylaxis; food allergy; IgE; paediatrics EN anaphylaxis food allergy IgE paediatrics 364 368 5 02/24/21 20210201 NES 210201 To the Editor: Food-induced allergic reactions are diagnosed through corroboration of a suggestive clinical history with appropriate confirmatory tests. We did not compare changes in sIgE in food-induced anaphylaxis versus drug- or venom-induced anaphylaxis. In conclusion, our study shows that following anaphylaxis, sIgE levels to culprit food allergens increase, while sIgE levels to unrelated tolerated foods do not change substantially. Further studies with a larger sample size and additional time-points before and after anaphylaxis are needed to better assess the temporal trends of sIgE levels and characterize its role in diagnosing the cause of anaphylaxis.
