The prevalence of peanut and tree nut allergy in the USA has increased,
especially in the pediatric population. Nut allergy remains the leading cause of
fatal anaphylactic reactions. Management of anaphylaxis includes not only
treatment of symptoms during a reaction, but strict dietary avoidance and
education on potential situations, which may place the patient at high risk for
accidental exposure. Cross-reactivity between various nuts along with various
cross-contamination sources should be discussed with all nut-allergic
individuals. Exciting research continues to emerge on other potential treatments
for patients allergic to nuts, including allergen immunotherapy. Results of such
interventions have been encouraging, though further studies are needed regarding
safety and long-term outcomes before these can be applied to clinical practice.
