Improvements in clinical approaches and innovative technological solutions in the field of molecular allergy diagnostics have fundamentally changed the tactics and strategy for managing children with allergic diseases. In particular, molecular allergy diagnostics is used to make decisions in cases of suspected food allergy; to assess the risks of life-threatening reactions; to optimize the elimination diet; to identify cross-reactivity; to diagnose inhalant allergies and determine their clinical significance;to provide optimal recommendations for reducing the exposure to inhalation allergens; to rationally select pharmacotherapy and allergen-specific immunotherapy; to predict the course of allergic disease, including the development of the atopic march. In addition, molecular allergy diagnostics is the foundation for establishing a system for preventing allergic diseases. In this article, we have tried to outline the main achievements and prospects of molecular allergy diagnostics application in pediatric practice.
