Abstract
Results: A total of 77 participants (52%) responded to the survey; of these, 32 were allergic to hen's egg, 28 to cow's milk, and 17 to wheat. The survey was conducted over a median period of 6.4 years after the participants achieved the maintenance OIT dose. Moreover, the continuation rate of the maintenance OIT dose was 90%, without differences in terms of the offending food. Overall, 34 participants (44%) experienced allergic symptoms after the third year of the maintenance phase, without differences in terms of the offending food. The rate of severe symptoms was 5%, without differences in terms of the offending food, which necessitated the use of an adrenaline auto-injector, as recommended by the Japanese Society of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
