Abstract

•TN/PN (nut) allergies are severe and persistent, often causing life-threatening reactions and delayed tolerance.
•The prevalence is rising globally, yet country-specific data on children remain limited.
•Predictive markers are unclear, especially in children with coexisting food or aeroallergen sensitivities and other atopic diseases.

We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters associated with disease severity and the development of tolerance in pediatric patients with nut allergy. 

Nut allergy subtypes showed distinct clinical courses, with shifting patterns in anaphylaxis over time. Multiple nut allergy, aeroallergen sensitisation, and skin test trends were linked to severity and tolerance, supporting the need for personalised follow-up.
