Hen's egg is one of the most frequent causes of food allergies accounting for about 30 % allergic reactions to foods in children and for 12 % in adults. As eggs are contained in many food products, accidental ingestions may lead to milder symptoms, but also to life-threatening systemic reactions (anaphylaxis) in allergic individuals. Egg allergy is highly prevalent in children with atopic dermatitis and/or hypersensitivity to cow's milk. Diagnostic measures include case history, skin tests and in-vitro measurement of specific serum IgE-antibodies. The relatively well characterized allergens of hen's egg are proteins and glycoproteins of the egg white. Treatment of egg allergy is based on the avoidance of egg containing foods.
