PREDICTIVE DECLINE IN PEANUT SKIN TEST AND RAST AMONG PEANUT-ALLERGIC CHILDREN UNDERGOING HIGH-DOSE ORAL IMMUNOTHERAPY

Peanut immunotherapy remains a limited form of treatment for peanut allergic children. Limitations primarily stem from small study sizes, significant adverse events, unclear long-term immunological outcomes and the inability to reach tolerance. In our cohort of peanut anaphylaxis patients undergoing tolerance induction oral immunotherapy, we sought to determine the rate of decline in peanut skin prick testing (SPT) and RAST results following one year of high-dose, weekly peanut immunotherapy.
