De novo Food Allergy After Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver transplant (LT) recipients, particularly children, have an increased risk of developing de novo food allergies (FAs) after transplantation both compared to all the other transplant groups and to the general population. Little is known about the pathogenesis underlying this phenomenon and comprehensive recommendations or clinical practice guidelines are still lacking, mainly due to the scarcity of high-quality evidence.

Aim

We aimed to prepare a systematic review on de novo FA in pediatric LT recipients to assess epidemiology and risk factors, evaluate the correlation to specific food groups, describe clinical manifestations, investigate the rate of tolerance acquisition over time and report available therapeutic strategies.
