Benefits of using heated egg (HE) in the management of egg allergy

چکیده
Methods 50 patients (Table 1) underwent an OFC with HE performed in two different days. The first day began with gradual doses of cookies (a brand containing egg) and later home-breaded chicken. Subsequently, tolerant patients incorporated HE into their diet (cookies or food products containing egg daily and home-breaded foods 2-3 days/week). A second challenge with gradual doses of a serving size of a home-made cake containing 4 eggs was performed a week later. Regular consumption was advised for tolerant subjects. All children were periodically controlled. Factors including SPT and sIgE levels, psychological and others were used to determine a subsequent challenge with less-heated-egg (hard-boiled egg, omelette and raw consecutively).

Safety and feasibility of heated egg yolk challenge for children with egg allergies.
BACKGROUND Hen's egg allergy is a frequent cause of childhood food allergy. Egg yolk is used in various commonly consumed foods; if children with allergy to hen's egg could eat heated egg yolk, their quality of life (QOL) would improve. No reports exist regarding oral food challenges (OFCs) for heated egg yolk. We aimed to clarify whether pediatric patients allergic to hen's egg could consume h...
متن کاملUtility of ovomucoid-specific IgE concentrations in predicting symptomatic egg allergy.
BACKGROUND Children with allergy to raw egg white might tolerate low amounts of heated egg. Ovomucoid-specific IgE antibodies have been suggested to be predictors of whether children could tolerate heat-treated egg. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the clinical usefulness and added diagnostic value of measurements of IgE antibodies to egg white, ovalbumin, and ovomucoid in children with egg ...

This article reviews the recent advances and current state of equipoise in the use of immunotherapy for IgE-mediated food allergy. It examines the various methods currently under evaluation for induction of desensitisation and tolerance in food allergy and encompasses permissive diets which allow for inclusion of extensively heated food allergens, specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI), the u...
متن کاملHeated egg yolk challenge predicts the natural course of hen’s egg allergy: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Children do not always outgrow hen's egg allergies in early childhood. Because egg yolks are less allergenic than egg whites, we performed an oral food challenge with heated egg yolk slightly contaminated with egg white (EYSEW OFC) in infants allergic to hen's egg. We hypothesized that the EYSEW OFC results would predict the egg allergy's natural course. METHODS We retrospectively ...
متن کاملOral tolerance induction with heated egg in childrena and adolescents
Background The oral tolerance induction to egg (OTI) is a promising treatment modality for egg allergy. Several small pilot studies have been published using different protocols and only one positive double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge have proved efficacy and relatively good tolerance. In all of them raw egg has been used. Recent studies suggest that a diet with heated egg in patien...
