Flinterman et al - Clinical reactivity to hazelnut in children: association with sensitization to birch pollen or nuts?
In the November 2006 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Flinterman and colleagues investigated the cause of allergy to hazelnuts among children. In areas where birch trees are common, hazelnut allergy is often the result of primary sensitization to birch pollen. However, allergy to hazelnut in early childhood has been related to allergies to other tree nuts and peanut that can all cause serious reactions. The authors found that the route of allergies to hazelnut in children, in an area where birch trees are common, can be non-pollen related.
