AB  - Egg is one of the most important allergens in childhood feeding, and egg allergy 
      can pose quality-of-life concerns. A clear clinical history and the detection of 
      egg white-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) will confirm the diagnosis of 
      IgE-mediated reactions. Non-IgE-mediated symptoms, such as those of eosinophilic 
      diseases of the gut, might also be observed. Egg avoidance and education 
      regarding the treatment of allergic reactions are the cornerstones of management 
      of egg allergy. This article discusses epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, 
      treatment, and natural history of egg allergy.
