The efficacy and safety of stepwise oral food challenge in children with hen’s egg allergy
Stepwise OFC is safe and effective in diagnosing HE allergy and facilitates the earlier introduction of HE in children. This study suggests the limited potential of early consumption of lower doses of HE to induce earlier immune tolerance, such that other strategies to induce earlier tolerance in infants with HE allergy should be considered.
