Management and disease burden of children and adults with severe IgE-mediated food allergy: Are adults the lost population?

Our data reveal a general undersupply for severe IgE-FA in Germany, with adults being significantly more affected. This may lead to the reported higher burden of disease in this age group. Increasing clearer medical contact points (eg, qualified allergologists specialized in food allergy)-especially for the adult patient population, finding available therapeutic options for this group of patients, and increasing the awareness of severe food allergy in the general population might overcome this problem.
