The natural history and clinical predictors of egg allergy in the first 2 years of life: A prospective, population-based cohort study
Conclusion: Phenotyping of egg allergy (baked egg tolerant vs allergic) should be considered in the management of this allergy because it has prognostic implications and eases dietary restrictions. Randomized controlled trials for egg oral immunotherapy should consider stratifying at baseline by the baked egg subphenotype to account for the differential rate of tolerance development.
