An infant was born at full term after a normal first pregnancy with no family history of allergic disease. At six months of age, he developed atopic dermatitis. He was diagnosed to be allergic to peanut and egg proteins, with a strongly positive skin prick test reactivity of >10 mm and >12 mm respectively, although he never had a known exposure to either food. He was prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector, and his parents were advised to avoid products containing peanut or egg.
