Long-term prospective observational study of patients with peanut and nut allergy after participation in a management plan in England.
BACKGROUND: Peanut and nut allergy is common and the most frequent cause of severe or fatal reactions to foods. Current advice is poor–doctors give an epinephrine injector to patients; without training or advice on nut avoidance–so that further reactions are common and deaths occur. We devised and assessed a management programme providing advice on nut […]
