چکیده
REVIEWER COMMENTS. Egg is a common ingredient in a wide variety of foods. Desensitizing egg-allergic patients would reduce the risk of anaphylaxis associated with accidental ingestion and allow patients to consume a broader diet. Although the current study shows great promise, oral desensitization has significant inherent risks. Additional studies addressing patient selection, dosing, and long-term tolerance are essential before rapid oral desensitization becomes a commonly performed procedure.

In food allergy, child- and parent-proxy-reported HRQL have never been compared using valid disease-specific instruments. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare child- and parent-proxy reports on HRQL in food-al...
