Early Introduction of Peanuts in Young Children

Abstract

This chapter provides a summary of a landmark analysis in pediatrics. Does early introduction of peanuts in infants lower the rate of peanut allergy? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, study location, who was studied, how many patients, study overview, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
