Immune reactivity to mite allergens in nonatopic subjects: immune deviation or immune ignorance.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Epidemiological data on food allergy are scarce in African countries. We studied the prevalence of food sensitization in Ghanaian schoolchildren. METHODS:Children (5-16 years; n = 1,714) from 9 Ghanaian schools were given parental consent to participate in the study. Adverse reactions and food consumption w...
