Food allergy testing | SPTs positive to baked milk (6 mm) SPTs positive to real pistachio and to extracts of cashew (6 mm) SPTs positive to dust mites, molds, cat, dog SPTs to peanut and almond were borderline SPTs to soy, shrimp, and wheat were negative OFC to peanut positive. Rash appeared on face swollen conjunctiva after 8 peanuts but then resolved | Serum-specific IgE to milk was positive at 27.40 Serum-specific IgE to cashew was positive at 10.80 This would suggest a risk of about 95–100% for anaphylaxis with a significant ingestion of either allergen | Serum-specific IgE to milk was 17.30 Serum-specific IgE to cashew was positive at 14.40 Serum specific IgE to pistachio was positive at 18.10 This would suggest a risk of about 95–100% for anaphylaxis with a significant ingestion of these allergens |
