Kiwi fruit allergy in children

[Bobby Krishna]

Conclusion

To summarize, Kiwifruit allergy is currently recognized as a potential and serious life-threatening condition, particularly among children more susceptible to primary sensitization.

The identification and characterization of specific molecular antigens have played a crucial role in assessing the individual risk of severe reactions after consuming kiwifruit.

Extended research is required to understand the age-related variations in sensitization to kiwifruit allergens. Therefore, the only approach for managing kiwifruit allergy is implementing a focused elimination diet, as no other strategies have been established.
