BACKGROUND: The majority of children with cow's milk and hen's egg allergy develop
clinical tolerance with time. However, there are no good indices to predict when and in
whom this occurs. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine if monitoring food
specific IgE levels over time could be used as a predictor for determining when patients
develop clinical tolerance. METHODS: Eighty-eight patients with hen's egg and 49 patients
with cow's milk allergy who underwent repeated double-blind, placebo-controlled food …
