Food allergy and anaphylaxis – 2055: Slow specific oral tolerance induction in children with hen’s egg allergy. 3-days on / 4 days off schedule
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Seven children aged 9 months to 6.6 years (median 1.7 years) with hen’s egg allergy were performed open oral food challenge tests with boiled hen’s egg to define the threshold dose. Subjects underwent SOTI in which they intake boiled hen’s egg at home 3 days every week. The dose was increased every 1 to 2 weeks from approximately one fourth of the threshold dose to 60g. Clinical response and immunologic changes before and after SOTI were evaluated.

متن کاملState of the art and new horizons in the diagnosis and management of egg allergy.
Egg allergy is one of the most frequent food allergies in children below the age of three. Common symptoms of egg allergy involve frequently the skin as well as the gut and in more severe cases result in anaphylaxis. Non-IgE-mediated symptoms such as in eosinophilic diseases of the gut or egg-induced enterocolitis might also be observed. Sensitization to egg white proteins can be found in young...
