Abstract
The prevalence of peanut allergy has increased in recent years and affects approximately 1% to 3% of children in the United States.1 Peanut allergy presents a significant burden to caregivers and patients due to the anaphylaxis risk, lifelong allergy, increased financial costs, and worse quality of life. On the basis of the results of the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) updated food allergy guidelines in 2017 to introduce peanut as early as 4 to 6 months of age into infant diets as a way to reduce the risk of peanut allergy.
