Abstract

|
In October 2005, we released "Food Allergy Management Guideline 2005". To cover food allergy from infancy to adulthood, the project committee included not only pediatric researchers, but also internists, dermatologists, and otolaryngologists. The guideline concept was to utilize the data accumulated by the National Food Allergy Research Group, to be plain and as short as a pamphlet, and to be released on internet. The most glowing argument was about relation between infantile atopic dermatitis and food allergy, and how it should be treated in the guideline. To avoid neither overvaluation nor undervaluation, fastidious care was given to the denotation. With the definition of "infantile atopic dermatitis associated with food allergy", both dermatologic and pediatric members of the project committee finally came to agreement, which was a landmark between dermatologists and pediatricians in Japan. The guideline explains fundamentals with the least paragraphs and with tables and figures as many as possible. Flowcharts are made largely as a composition in the parts of diagnosis and treatment. I really hope that this guideline is useful for Korean doctors involved in food allergy and that quality of life of food allergy patients and their parents are improved.
