Food allergy and anaphylaxis – 2060. Oral Food challenges still the most reliable test for a diagnosis of food allergy

چکیده
Background Food allergy in children is increasing in prevalence and severity. To parents this may translate to deliberate food restriction especially to either highly allergenic foods or to unknown foods (food neophobia). These claims need to be evaluated by a good clinical history and if warranted, skin prick testing and food specific IgE assays. However neither of these is diagnostic of food allergy. Therefore an oral food challenge (OFC) is indispensible in facilitating a diagnosis of true food allergy. The aim of this study is to examine the outcome of OFC based on the reason of avoidance.
