PROPOSITIONS
The Severity of Anaphylactic and Systemic Allergic Reactions 1. The eliciting dose is not clinically useful for predicting severe
accidental and DBPCFC reactions. – This thesis
2. An interval of 30 minutes between doses is long enough to allow for the DBPCFC to be performed safely in patients reporting longer time intervals (≥30 minutes) between ingestion and reaction. – This thesis
3. The eliciting dose and the severity of reaction should be considered as separate factors in food allergy. – This thesis 4. The type of food does not independently determine the
severity of reaction during DBPCFCs. – This thesis
5. Cashew nut allergy causes more severe accidental reactions in children than peanut or hazelnut. – This thesis
6. Age predicts the anaphylactic reaction severity in pediatric food allergy and for yellow jacket venom allergy in adults. – This thesis
7. Baseline serum tryptase does not independently predict the severity of yellow jacket sting reactions. – This thesis
8. Science never solves a problem without creating ten more. – George Bernard Shaw
9. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. – Hippocrates
