چکیده
During the first month, this infant vomited immediately after a teaspoon of scrambled egg on two occasions. The third time, at two months of age, he rapidly developed anaphylaxis after an egg-based feed: urticaria, edema of the ears, dyspnoea, wheezing, grunting, laryngeal edema, and delayed refill time. Intramuscular epinephrine and hydrocortisone, inhaled oxygen, and intra-osseous fluids were provided. Symptoms rapidly improved with therapy.

Thus patients who have IgE-mediated egg allergy are at risk for anaphylaxis if injected with influenza vaccines containing egg protein. Published studies, however, suggest that this risk is actually quite small, likely because of the very low quantity of ovalbumin in in...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Severe Reactions during Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Food Challenges.
