: Sensitization through inflamed skin can lead to early-onset food allergies.
Atopy typically follows a predictable chronological progression: : Sensitization through inflamed skin can lead to
: Upon re-exposure, allergens cross-link IgE on the surface of mast cells, causing degranulation and the release of inflammatory mediators like histamine and leukotrienes. 2. The Atopic March allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
Atopy is a genetic predisposition toward developing exaggerated IgE-mediated immune responses to common environmental allergens. Clinically, it manifests as a triad of conditions—, allergic rhinitis (hay fever) , and allergic asthma —often appearing sequentially in a pattern known as the "atopic march". 1.
