Summary
Histamine intolerance (hereinafter referred to as HIT) is a disease which belongs to food intolerance disorders. Only several studies aimed at histamine intolerance research have been carried out in paediatric environment. Reasons behind the development of HIT may be an excessive accumulation of histamine in organism and a disorder of metabolic degradation of histamine. The clinical picture of HIT consists of several non-specific signs and symptoms which are often similar to allergic reactions. HIT poses a diagnostic problem, as an effective diagnostic tool for HIT is unavailable. A frequently used clinical method is to determine activity and concentration of diamine oxidase (DAO) in serum and in biopsy sample from intestinal epithelium. It is also possible to apply molecular genetics examination of polymorphisms in gene for DAO. However, the stated types of examination function as additional information only, as they do not lead to confirmation or exclusion of the disease. Clinical diagnosis is usually determined by a positive response of patients to low histamine diet and by an extensive diagnostical exclusion of other diseases.
