Sixty-three Portuguese mothers of children with physician-diagnosed FA…

- Overcoming anaphylactic severe cow’s milk allergy with slow and low-dose oral immunotherapy: A 10-year path to toleranceby Shungo Yamamoto on December 4, 2025 at 11:00 am

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is generally avoided in such high-risk patients due to the risk of serious allergic reactions, leaving strict avoidance as the standard treatment. However, prolonged avoidance may delay tolerance acquisition and…
