Sažetak
The prevalence of allergic diseases shows a rapid tendency to increase worldwide. Identifying mechanisms to prevent allergies in early childhood would significantly reduce the burden of disease later in life and reduce morbidity and mortality caused by anaphylaxis. Preventive measures can be divided into primary, secondary and tertiary. Evidence suggests that avoiding certain food allergens during pregnancy or breastfeeding will not significantly affect the development of allergy in the offspring. It is desirable to introduce foods with a high allergenic potential into the diet of infants (peanuts, milk, eggs). Secondary prevention is aimed at patients with already existing allergies in order to prevent further sensitization. The objective of tertiary prevention of allergic diseases is to reduce the risk of anaphylaxis and induce allergen tolerance.
