Allergy 2010 Feb 22 (Epub ahead of print). The authors discuss the evidence showing the negative impact that food allergy has on psychological health and quality of life among patients and their families. This is a great summary of the studies that have been done as well as a description of the tools available to assess quality of life in food allergic patients. The authors also discuss possible interventions to improve the quality of life among these patients and their families.

The study also is notable for the immunologic changes documented with OIT; these inform our understanding of the mechanism of OIT and should lead to more effective food allergy treatment.
