Allergy to tree nuts are frequent in children but allergy to almond is one of the less described tree nuts allergy. The main objective of our study is to determine diagnostic values of skin prick-tests and specific IgE to almond in a population of children sensitized to almond and challenged in our unit from november 2013 to march 2020.
Secondary objectives are * description of allergic reactions to almond (symptoms, severity) * modelisation of eliciting dose to almond in our population * evaluation of the association between atopic comorbidities and allergy to almond in children sensitized to almond * evaluation of the association between allergy to almond and the importance of skin and sIgE sensitization
