Clinical Significance of Egg Sensitization in Pediatric Food Protein–Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome to Hen’s Egg
Background
Hen’s egg, a common IgE-mediated food allergen, is an increasingly common food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) trigger. Atypical FPIES is defined as detectable IgE to the food causing FPIES.
Objective
To evaluate clinical characteristics, natural history, baked egg tolerance, and FPIES challenge outcomes based on allergic sensitization status in patients with egg FPIES.
Methods
This retrospective, dual-center cohort study examined children with the diagnosis of egg FPIES by an allergist. We reviewed charts for reaction characteristics, atopic history, allergic sensitization to egg, baked egg tolerance, and food reintroduction outcomes.
Results
Of 153 patients with FPIES, 124 underwent egg allergy testing and 56 (36.6%) were sensitized to egg. Skin testing and food reintroduction varied based on practice and patient preferences. Of 48 patients who introduced baked egg, 30 (62.5%) tolerated it after a median of 20.5 months (interquartile range, 13.25-33 months) of avoidance. Including those tolerating baked egg at presentation, 22.9% incorporated baked before unbaked egg. Sensitization did not delay tolerance but was linked to a higher risk of immediate hypersensitivity during reintroduction. IgE-mediated symptoms were evident during reintroductions in sensitized patients but were absent in non-sensitized and untested patients. The overall phenotype switch rate from FPIES to IgE food allergy was at least 9.2%. Concomitant IgE-mediated food allergy to other foods was more common among sensitized patients.
Conclusions
Our data suggest that testing for allergic sensitization to egg may help stratify patients with FPIES at risk for future IgE-mediated symptoms. Future prospective studies should evaluate the optimal timing and predictive value of skin testing in patients with FPIES and the utility of introducing baked egg in patients with egg FPIES.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
