Toit DG et al. - The diagnosis of food allergy relies on a combination of rigorous history, physical examination, allergy tests and oral food challenges. Diagnostic cut-off values for SPT and specific IgE results have improved the diagnosis of food allergy and thereby reduced the need to perform oral food challenges. This clinical case series seeks to highlight a contemporary approach to the diagnosis of food allergy in children strategies.
