[Hypersensitivity to chicken eggs: a difficult diagnosis with a troublesome diet].
The diagnosis and subsequent treatment over a 4-year-period are described in a girl with egg-intolerance. The presenting symptom was diarrhoea but urticaria and wheezing also occurred later on. She was placed on a strict hypo-allergic diet. All food, containing whole egg, eggyolk, eggwhite, or products derived from egg such as lysozym and ovalbumin was forbidden. A number of readily available food products which do not contain these components (according to the manufacturers) were allowed, making the diet more acceptable.
