Egg Allergy

Patients with multiple food allergies had higher rates of comorbidities, such as asthma and atopic dermatitis, and they underwent more diagnostic testing, according to study results.

Children who ate eggs more frequently as infants were less likely to have egg allergies later in childhood, according to a study presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Scientific Meeting.

Preschool children with egg allergy, eczema or asthma appeared at increased risk for tree nut symptoms and storage protein sensitization in early adulthood, according to study results published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy.
