Background Peanut butter is known as a healthy food . It is a type one hypersensitivity reaction to dietary substances from peanuts causing an overreaction of the immune system which in a small percentage of children may lead to severe physical symptoms. Peanut allergy is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis, a pediatrics medical emergency that requires treatment with an epinephrine (adrenaline).

Food allergy most often begins in the first 1 to 2 years of life with the process of sensitization, by which the immune system responds to specific food proteins. Symptoms of a food allergy reaction commonly involve localized hives and worsening eczema, with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis a frequent comorbid condition of food allergy. Acute urticaria is much more likely to be caused by food allergy than is chronic urticaria.

A strawberry allergy is an allergy to certain proteins found in strawberries . The specific symptoms that can vary considerably amongst children from a severe anaphylactic reaction to asthma , abdominal symptoms, eczema or headaches. Some experience an allergic reaction with itching and swelling in mouth and throat.

Background: Mutations in the LPL gene cause familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency. Symptoms of familial LPL deficiency usually begin in childhood and include abdominal pain, acute and recurrent inflammation of the pancreas, skin lesions called eruptive cutaneous xanthoma and an enlargement of the liver and spleen. The risk for two carrier parents to both pass the defective gene and, therefore, have an affected child is 25% with each pregnancy. Aims: Early diagnosis, routine surveillance and treatment of familial LPL deficiency may help to manage some of the symptoms and sometimes prevent related problems. Methods: Clinical genetic testing for familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency may be available through an in person genetic consultation for children who are considered at risk. Triglycerides and total cholesterol were measured using commercially available kits (Boehringer Mannheim). Results: Episodes of abdominal pain are common. Intensity, duration, and localization of episodes are variable. Enlargement of the liver and spleen occurs particularly among affected infants and children. The enlargement of these organs may vary, often in parallel with the fat content of the diet. The risk is the same for boys and girls. Conclusions: Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency is an inherited condition that disrupts the normal breakdown of fats in the body. It is characterized by absence of lipoprotein lipase activity and a massive accumulation of chylomicrons in plasma and a corresponding increase of plasma triglyceride concentration. Higher levels of plasma LPL activity are associated with decreased TG and increased HDL cholesterol levels in children.

Background: AIDS is now a pandemic in children. Asymptomatic children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection cannot be distinguished from children without infection. Opportunistic infections are common in children with AIDS. Aims: Describe the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among all children with opportunistic infections in Bosnia. Methods: The control group was composed of six boys and six girls for every year age class between one day and six years. Children were included from the study when they presented with a opportunistic infectious disease at the time of planned investigation assessment. Results: Children are underrepresented among recipients of antiretroviral therapy in almost every setting in Bosnia where treatment programs have been established. HIV-affected children and HIV-infected children had a significantly poorer socioeconomic living standard compared with control children. Ninety percent of the sample had been diagnosed with HIV before three years of age; the mean age of diagnosis for this sample was eleven months. Among the groups at highest risk for suprainfections of HIV infection were newborns from infected SIDA mothers. Conclusions: The prevention of opportunistics HIV infections in children and its consequent illness must be the primary component of any education program. Pediatricians and specialist for infectious diseases can play an important role in educating parents about opportunistic infection of HIV prevention, transmission, and testing, with an emphasis on risk reduction.
