Publication Egg Allergy in infancy(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2010) Shrestha, R; Shrestha, D; Poudyal, R; Mishra, NAbstract Egg allergies are one of the most common allergies of childhood and the reactions may vary from mild to severe. A family history of egg allergy or atopy is a risk factor for egg allergy. Most food-induced allergic reactions occur on first known oral exposure, especially in the case of eggs and peanuts. We report a case of nine months old infant who developed egg allery (contact dermatitis) after contact with egg white, with a positive family history of atopy and egg allergy. Keywords Egg allergy; contact dermatitis; infancy.
