Key Message
Pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is a hypersensitivity reaction to
specific foods caused by prior sensitization to plant inhalant
allergens. The prevalence of PFAS in children aged 6–10 years old was
4.7%. Food allergy and food sensitization in early childhood was
associated with PFAS in schoolchildren with allergic rhinitis. Careful
monitoring for PFAS symptoms before the age of 6 years is necessary for
children with a history of food allergy in early childhood.
