Oral Immunotherapy With Egg in Infants
Sponsor: Josefine Gradman
Summary
In children allergic to egg, oral immunotherapy (OIT) with egg may accelerate that the children grow out of the food allergy. Children than have a positive oral food provocation with egg with a low threshold, will be offered to start OIT. This means that the child have to ingest a small amount of egg every day. Once a year, the child will undergo a new oral food provocation to investigate if the child is still allergic to egg or not. The age of the children at time of this acquired tolerance will be compared with a historical cohort of children with egg allergy.
