Low-Dose Oral Food Challenge with Hazelnut: Efficacy and Tolerability in Children

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this was the first study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of H-LDOFC in a pediatric population. Our study suggests that in children with HA, H-LDOFC is well accepted and safe because adverse reactions are mild and the majority are represented by localized symptoms (oral allergy syndrome) and efficient, especially in terms of improvement of quality of life. For these reasons it could be more extensively used in the treatment of HA.Int Arch Allergy Immunol
