Keywords: egg, food allergy, oral food challenge, pediatric, sensitization, stepwise, threshold EN egg, food allergy, oral food challenge, pediatric, sensitization, stepwise, threshold 1 5 5 07/26/22 20220701 NES 220701 Key messages This study showed that only a small number of the infants for whom egg consumption was completely avoided owing to sensitization needed complete avoidance of eggs, and the majority of them were able to ingest a whole egg in the form of scrambled egg. After the low-dose OFC, we performed an OFC containing 1/8 of a HE (775-769 mg of egg protein, medium-dose OFC) and later 1/2 of a HE (3076-3100 mg of egg protein, high-dose OFC) if the results of each previous OFC were negative. Patients who passed the high-dose OFC received an OFC with scrambled egg containing a whole egg (6591.5 mg of egg protein, full-dose OFC) or were instructed to increase egg consumption up to one HE at home.
