On Jan. 5, an expert panel sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), issued new clinical guidelines regarding the prevention of peanut allergies in children. The guidelines are based on groundbreaking studies conducted in recent years.
The panel issued three separate recommendations determined by the level of risk babies have for developing a peanut allergy.
In this segment, Dr. Avraham (Avi) Beigelman, MD, a Washington University allergy, immunology and pulmonary medicine specialist at St. Louis Children’s Hospital discusses these new guidelines for children with peanut allergies and when a pediatrician should refer to a specialist.
