Results of a recent study shows that most children with asthma may also be allergic to peanuts. According to the researchers, children with asthma need to perform allergy tests.
"In my opinion, if children with asthma difficulty controlling symptoms, such as wheezing and coughing, their parents can think of doing tests on peanut allergy. This is to test, whether the beans play a role in asthma symptoms as those who appear constantly, "said researcher Dr. Robert Cohn of Mercy Children's Hospital in Toledo, Ohio.
Researchers looked at the medical records of 1,517 children with asthma from a clinic that handles breathing problems at Mercy Children's Hospital, Ohio. Researchers looking at whether children diagnosed with peanut allergy, have undergone blood tests that indicate the presence of an allergic reaction to peanuts.
As a result, 665 children underwent blood tests for peanut allergy and 22 percent of children were shown to be sensitive to peanuts. However, most of the children who have these allergies, no one expected him sensitive to nuts, including his family.
