Natural course of sensitization to cow's milk and hen's egg in childhood atopic dermatitis: ETACTM Study Group

Background Sensitization to food allergens has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic diseases, in particular atopic dermatitis (AD). The aim of the present paper is to investigate the natural course of sensitization to egg and to cow's milk and its relationship with the severity of AD.
