Background Food allergy to egg is commonly diagnosed in childhood with good prognosis. Egg white is considered as the main culprit with major 4 identified allergens (Gal d 1 to Gal d 4). Egg yolk (with two identified allergens Gal d 5 and Gal d 6 in the livetin fraction) retained less attention and its clinical involvement remains unclear. This study revisits sensitization to both egg fractions in a cohort of children allergic to egg and investigates IgE reactivity toward the main egg yolk fractions.
