Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, angka kejadian alergi terus meningkat tajam baik di dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. World Allergy Organization (WAO) menyebutkan 22% penduduk dunia menderita alergi dan terus meningkat setiap tahun. Alergi makanan merupakan suatu kondisi yang disebabkan oleh reaksi IgE terhadap bahan (zat kimia) makanan. Alergi makanan dapat mengganggu fungsi otak dan sistem organ tubuh serta mempengaruhi kualitas hidup seseorang. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran sensitivitas terhadap alergen makanan di Poli Alergi Imunologi Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) pada tahun 2007. Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder dari 208 responden yang memiliki rekam medik dan yang melakukan tes tusuk kulit (skin prick test) di Poli Alergi Imunologi RSCM tahun 2007. Analisis univariat dilakukan untuk mendeskripsikan jenis alergen makanan pada kelompok anak dan dewasa. Sebesar 49% responden sensitif terhadap alergen makanan. Jenis makanan yang paling banyak menyebabkan alergi pada anak-anak dan dewasa berturut-turut adalah udang, putih telur dan maizena. Susu sapi dan tepung terigu merupakan jenis makanan yang paling banyak menyebabkan alergi hanya pada anak-anak, sedangkan pada dewasa, makanan yang paling banyak menyebabkan alergi adalah kepiting.

Abstract
In recent years, the occurrence of allergy continues to increase rapidly both domestically and globally. World Allergy Organization (WAO) revealed that 22% of the world population suffers from allergies, and this number increases every year. Food allergy is a condition caused by the reaction of IgE against substances (chemicals) in food. Food allergy can interfere with brain function and body organ systems as well as affect the quality of life. The purpose of this study is to know the level of sensitivity of food allergens in the Immunology Allergy Poly RSCM in 2007. Data were collected from 208 patients who have medical records and went through skin prick tests in the Immunology Allergy Clinic RSCM in 2007. Univariate analysis was performed to describe the types of food allergens within groups of children and adults. Around 49% of the respondents were sensitive to food allergens. The types of foods that caused the most allergies for children and adults are respectively shrimp, egg white and cornstarch. Cow's milk and wheat flour are the types of food that caused most allergies for children only, whereas for adults, the food that caused the most allergies is crab.

Glycolysis is a process that rapidly converts glucose to lactate to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) under anaerobic conditions and occurs in all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. On the other hand, the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) converts glucose to intermediate products like UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, which is critical for post-translational modifications of proteins, such as protein glycosylation. These 2 pathways are well known to contribute to glucose metabolism, but recent studies indicate modulation of these pathways can alter immune system function. In this review article, the authors present results suggesting how cellular metabolism, including glycolysis and the HBP, occurs in immune cells, and the immunologic significances of such activities. In addition, they provide a review of the literature on the effects of glycolysis and the HBP on various autoimmune, immunologic, and allergic diseases. Finally, the authors briefly introduce the results of their research on the immunologic effects of HBP supplementation (glucosamine) in animal models of allergic disease.
