| Summary: | According to different authors, the rates of food allergy range from 4 to 7,5% in a pediatric population. The paper presents the current aspects of the prevention and prediction of food allergy in infants in the antenatal and postnatal period. Identification of babies at increased risk of allergic reactions allows appropriate prevention before birth. The efficiency of primary prevention increases when the specific features of the immune status and immune reactions in the neonatal period are considered in babies with a family history of allergy. The postnatal risk factors of allergy include maternal non-compliance with hypoallergenic and elimination diets during lactation; smoking; late attachment to the breast; formula feeding, early use of age-inappropriate complementary foods; frequent viral and parasitic infections, and chronic infection foci. The basic principles in the antenatal prevention of food allergies are laid down, which include a balanced diet in a healthy pregnant woman; a hypoallergenic diet in a pregnant woman with allergic disorders; improvement of the environment; and creation of hypoallergenic living conditions. Postnatal prophylaxis is to limit excessive neonatal drug therapy and early bottle-feeding, and to prevent viral infections. |
