Antigen-specific IgE can be a useful biomarker for predicting clinical reactivity to food
allergies. Monitoring hen's egg and cow's milk-specific IgE is useful for predicting prognosis,
and baseline specific IgE levels may be associated with the outcome of OIT. The use of CRD
provides us with a better tool for diagnosing food allergy.
