Featured article: Antibiotics and food allergy in children

This piece of research assessed the relationship between antibiotic prescription within the first year of life and the presence of an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code.

It concludes that children who were prescribed antibiotics before they turned 1 were 1.21 times more likely to be diagnosed with a food allergy. Moreover, multiple antibiotic prescriptions are more strongly associated with an increase in the odds of a food allergy diagnosis.

About the CSACI

AACI is the official journal of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI). The CSACI is the largest national professional medical specialty organization in Canada representing allergists, asthma specialists, clinical immunologists, allied health professionals and others with a special interest in the research and treatment of allergic diseases.

The CSACI was founded in 1945 to fulfill the following goals: improving the standards of teaching and the practice of allergy and clinical immunology; fostering co-operation between those engaged in the study and practice of allergy and clinical immunology; encourage research in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.

The CSACI represents over 475 (Canadian and international) members who are from all parts of the country including rural areas, cities, community hospitals and academic university teaching centres. The CSACI remains committed to supporting allergists and clinical immunologists in maintaining the pre-eminence of both research and education in Canada. Moving forward, the CSACI will support these aims to ensure that high quality health care is available to all our patients throughout our communities.
