Article Synopsis
- Oral food challenges (OFCs) help diagnose food allergies, but can lead to severe reactions, particularly during cow's milk challenges (CMOFCs).
- In a study of 266 CMOFCs, 136 tests were positive for allergies, with 62 incidents of anaphylaxis, highlighting a higher risk in younger patients and those undergoing baked milk challenges.
- The study emphasizes the need for OFCs to be performed in well-equipped settings with trained professionals due to the significant risk of serious allergic reactions.
