Research progress on the correlation between autism spectrum disorder and food allergy

过去几十年里, 孤独症谱系障碍和食物过敏的发病率呈上升趋势, 均已成为全球性的公共卫生问题。孤独症谱系障碍是一种复杂的神经发育障碍性疾病, 常共患胃肠道问题。其确切病因及发病机制尚不清楚, 免疫功能障碍已被证明是与孤独症谱系障碍相关的一个因素, 而食物过敏作为一种免疫介导的疾病, 常引起胃肠道症状, 有研究报道食物过敏可能与孤独症谱系障碍存在联系。现就食物过敏与孤独症谱系障碍的关系进行综述, 希望为孤独症谱系障碍病因学的研究及治疗提供信息。
