Absence of clinical symptoms upon introduction of egg into the diet of milk-allergic infants not previously sensitised to egg

Coexistence of allergy to egg and milk allergy is common, and it is recommended that these patients be monitored, since children who are sensitised to egg despite having never been exposed to it in their diet, may present with symptoms immediately following first ingestion. Most children who are initially non-sensitised to egg do not require special care, and it is not generally recommended to delay or monitor these children, although a small number may have subsequently reacted to egg.
