Article Abstract
Background: Egg allergy is one of the most frequent food allergies in childhood while adult onset of egg allergy is a rare condition.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 30 years old man sent to our center in order to investigate gastrointestinal symptoms occurring since 2 years after egg and derivatives intake. He did not suffer from egg or other food allergies in childhood. He is an active smoker with a contact dermatitis related to nickel and mild allergic rhinoconjunctivitis to grass pollen. Skin prick test and serum specific IgE to egg were performed and revealed sensitization to egg proteins.
Conclusions: Even though IgE-mediated egg allergy affects children, this report witnesses a rare case of adult onset.

Influenza vaccine effectiveness and immunogenicity can be compromised with repeated vaccination. We assessed immunological markers in a cohort of healthcare workers (HCW) from six public hospitals around Australia during 2020-2021. Sera were collected pre-vaccination and ~14 and ~180 days post-vaccination and assessed in haemagglutination inhibition assay against egg-grown vaccine and equivalent cell-grown viruses.

Purpose Of Review: There is an increasing awareness among clinicians that industrial and household food processing methods can increase or decrease the allergenicity of foods. Modification to allergen properties through processing can enable dietary liberations. Reduced allergenicity may also allow for lower risk immunotherapy approaches.

Background: Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are critical players in maintaining peripheral tolerance, by producing high IL-10 levels in association with inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS) expression. Whether these cells play a role in naturally acquired baked egg tolerance is unknown.
Objectives: Evaluate frequencies of egg-responsive Tr1 and Th2 cells in egg-allergic children that naturally acquired baked egg tolerance (BET) versus non-egg-allergic (NEA) children.
Development of a Buckwheat Allergy in a Child During Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome Due to Hen's Egg: A Case Report.

Department of Pediatrics, IMS Group, IMS Memorial Hospital, Tokyo, JPN.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy. IgE sensitization to the causative food is often not observed, and the rate of sensitization to other common foods is not exceptionally high. This report discusses the case of a boy being followed up for FPIES due to egg yolk, who developed a buckwheat allergy during the disease.
