Age-related differences in the clinical presentation of food-induced anaphylaxis

Susan A Rudders et al. J Pediatr. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Food-induced anaphylaxis may be more difficult to recognize in younger children. We describe age-related patterns in the clinical presentation of children with anaphylaxis, which may facilitate the early recognition and treatment of this potentially life-threatening condition.
