Early results from the NIAID-supported Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study show that severe eczema and egg allergy strongly predict risk for peanut allergy. These results may help identify infants who could most benefit from strategies aimed at preventing peanut allergy.
The LEAP study, led by investigators in the United Kingdom, seeks to determine if introducing peanuts early in a child’s diet could prevent future peanut allergy.
