Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of antihistamine medications on the basophil activation test (BAT), a diagnostic tool for food allergies, focusing on patients allergic to milk and egg.
- Conducted as a single-center, observational study, researchers analyzed data from 39 patients with documented food allergies, finding that the BAT results were consistently positive regardless of antihistamine intake.
- The findings indicate that oral antihistamines do not affect the BAT results, marking the first study to explore this relationship in food allergies to cow's milk and egg.
