Researchers identify a hidden cause of children's allergies

A study has revealed that gut fungi in infants may play a significant role in determining the risk of developing allergies during childhood, especially as their development pattern changes in some children, which is associated with an increased likelihood of eczema and food allergies by age five. The research shows that the use of antibiotics reduces the natural bacterial flora in the gut, allowing the fungus Malassezia to grow. Its presence has been proven to trigger an immune response that increases the severity of inflammation and allergies. These findings emphasize the importance of minimizing unnecessary antibiotic use during a child's early months and open the door to developing new methods for allergy prevention through restoring the balance of gut fungi.
