چکیده
Methods 49 infants between the ages of 4-5 months were randomised to receive pasteurized raw egg powder as the intervention for a randomised controlled trial. All infants had moderate to severe eczema with SCORAD score >15, and had no known prior exposure to egg. Data was collected on any allergic reactions to the egg powder, along with background information on the infants and their families including allergic history, health, diet and environment. The infants consumed 1⁄4 to 1 teaspoon of pasteurized raw egg powder daily for 3 to 4 months unless an allergic reaction to this study powder was confirmed.
