Follow‐up of patients with uncertain symptoms during an oral food challenge is useful for diagnosis

Abstract

Background: Uncertain symptoms often emerge during an oral food challenge (OFC),

Safe egg yolk consumption after a negative result for low‐dose egg oral food challenge

“…Furthermore, most children who showed mild symptoms could eventually consume EY with scEW. This result is compatible with that of a previous report that showed that around 80% of children with mild uncertain symptoms can ultimately consume causative foods 12. Therefore, we can safely recommend that children who passed the low-dose egg OFC consume EY with scEW.…”

Food and drug allergy, and anaphylaxis in EAACI journals (2018)

“…The follow‐up of patients with uncertain symptoms during an OFC is useful for diagnosis . An open OFC was conducted in 2271 patients suspected to be allergic to hen's eggs, cow's milk, or wheat.…”

Antibiotic use favors early‐life allergies, intrauterine blood flow may influence respiratory allergies, and features of hyper‐IgE syndrome

“…1 The second educational article is a rostrum addressing oral immunotherapy (OIT) for treatment of food allergy, a topic that has been extensively studied in the latest articles published in this journal. [2][3][4][5] In addition, a recent position statement of the European Academy (EAACI) has evaluated the scientific evidence behind OIT and concluded that "Overall, trials have found substantial benefit for patients undergoing OIT". 6 Nevertheless, questions remain to the practicing allergists, and Giovanni Pajno et al 7 review them with a critical look in a rostrum article.…”
