Eigenmann PA Oh JW Beyer K 2011 Food-related symptoms are frequent in childhood, and pediatricians are often requested to initiate a food allergy diagnostic workup. A careful history is the cornerstone for assessing whether tests are needed and which diagnostic procedures are most appropriate. Skin prick tests should be performed only according to standard procedures by a skilled health professional. Determining serum IgE levels (in vitro tests) are available for a wide range of foods. Of utmost importance is the need to correlate test results to the clinical picture. When a conclusion cannot be reached, oral food challenges should be performed for a definite diagnosis. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/240251 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.pcl.2011.02.003 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/21453806 Pediatric clinics of North America. - 2011 Allergens Child Food Hypersensitivity Humans Immunoglobulin E Serologic Tests Skin Tests Diagnostic testing in the evaluation of food allergy. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
