Egg ladder versus oral immunotherapy in infants with egg allergy: A single-center, retrospective cohort study

In this real-world cohort of infants with egg allergy, the EL approach achieved whole‑egg tolerance comparable to OIT and a substantially faster and higher tolerance to egg-containing processed foods, as expected given the EL protocol design. Although overall AE rates were similar between the approaches, no treatment‑related anaphylaxis occurred with EL, suggesting that the EL approach represents a safer and more practical strategy for dietary expansion in this age group.
