This is the first epidemiological report on the study of immediate type food allergy in Japan. We evaluated 1, 597 cases with the age range of 0 to 72 years. Egg/egg products appeared to be the most common food allergen. The second and third were found to be milk/milk products and wheat.
In our epidemiological study, even those with immediate-type reaction showed negative results in RAST, which suggests that one must still exercise case in eating food even when one is tested negative in RAST.

We analyzed the patients with food allergy in our division to understand the recent facts in the onset and the development of oral tolerance. Chicken egg and cow's milk were the most popular food antigens in our analysis. It was obvious that any kind of food became food antigens during childhood.
In general, it seems that patients develop oral tolerance firstly against soy bean followed by wheat, cow's milk and chicken egg.
Currently, the treatment of food allergy is the accurate diagnosis, which results in the minimum elimination of food antigen. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose food allergy based on the results of food elimination and provocation tests, but not on the results of IgE CAP RAST nor skin prick tests. Once food elimination is introduced, every certain period such as 6 month, the diagnosis should be re-evaluated to minimize the food elimination for the better quality of life.

In order to examine new type of food-allergy; food dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis and agents reported recently in Japan, we reviewed all case-reports concerning rapid food-allergy and food dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis in two major Japanese medical journals (The Japanese Journal of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and Japanese Journal of Allergology) from 1980 to 1999. Cases of rapid food-allergy were defined to have clinical symptoms within one hour after ingestion. Following variables were investigated in the present study: sex, age, suspected foods, diagnostic tests, symptoms, and allergological tests proposed by the Japanese committee of allergy. After reviewing 54 papers in the survey, we detected 36 cases of rapid food-allergy, 17 cases of food dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Thirty-three agents as suspected foods were reported. Among these agents, kiwi-fruit and squid were reported several times. These four agents were included in 24 allergy-inducing foods listed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in July, 2000.

We reported here a four-year-old girl who developed choreoathetosis of right upper and lower extremities after treatment for allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma with seven days of oxatomide and following three days of theophylline. Her involuntary movements disappeared about two weeks after cessation of the prescription and have not recurred since then. It might be possible that treatment with oxatomide followed by theophylline induced a similar pathophysiological condition to that of paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis.

We examined the efficacy and problems of beclomethasone dipropionate inhalation (BDI) in 20 infants and young children (aged 11-49 months) with asthma. One child had severe asthma and the others had moderate asthma. Although all utilized β-agonists and theophylline, and 14 of them used regular DSCG+salbutamol inhalation in addition to those therapies, symptoms deteriorated. Beclomethasone dipropionate (50-200μg twice daily) was administered using MDI and valved holding chambers with masks (16 AeroChambers, 3 Babyhalers, 1 Microhaler) for 12 months. Three children did not adapt to use of AeroChambers and dropped from the study. BDI significantly improved asthma symptom scores and numbers of hospitalization after using BDI for 12 months. No significant difference was found in height or growth velocity between before and after using BDI for 12 months. Training-time seemed necessary for children to cooperate the treatment of inhalation. However, the efficacy of treatment with BDI was worthwhile to satisfy the parents. BDI seems to represent a useful treatment to control asthma in infants and young children for whom other treatments have proved ineffective.
