Abstract
Skin test sensitisation to hazelnut was found to be 1.76% (16/904) which is similar to the sensitisation rate in previous reports. However, DBPCFC was positive in 63% of cases with a history of hazelnut allergy and/or positive skin tests in this study. These results indicate that the presence of history with a positive skin test can be suggestive of hazelnut allergy; however an oral food challenge is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
