Abstract

Recent years,the incidence rate of food allergy is on the rise year by year,which mostly occurs infants,thus arousing greatly attention from the parents and pediatricians.Up to now,the etiology and pathogenesis of food allergy are not understood.But several studies have associated vitamin D with food allergy,because it can affect the immune system response,which may promote the development of food allergy.However,a few evidence suggests that low blood vitamin D level is a risk factor for food allergy of children.This paper is to review the current latest study about the link between vitamin D and food allergy in children.

Key words
