ALVAREZ CASTELLO, Mirta et al. Some considerations on the adverse ractions to food. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.5-6, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.
The adverse reactions to food are a reason for the frequent visit to the allergy service at "Calixto García" Hospital. Sometimes, its diagnosis is complex and it may require more specific studies, mainly when the symptoms are respiratory, as in the case of rhinitis and asthma, or when there is sensitivity to more than one food. Many times, these adverse reactions after the ingestion of a certain food have nothing to do with allergy and the patients initially go to see doctors at the the primary health care level, so some aspects of interest in its diagnosis and care are reviewed aimed at improving the treatment and control of every patient with these characteristics. Finally, emphasis is made on the importance of a good interview, on the tests of elimination and provocation, as well as on the appearance of tolerance to many food products during childhood, where this behavior is common. With this paper, we intend to disseminate the work and control that should be applied to such patients and to promote better food habits in the population.
