Extract: Twenty out of 36 children (aged two to eight years) with atopic eczema completed a 12 week, double blind, controlled, crossover trial of an egg and cows' milk exclusion diet. Response was assessed in terms of eczema activity, number of areas affected, pruritus, sleeplessness, and antihistamine usage. Fourteen patients responded more favorably to the antigen avoidance diet than to the control diet, whereas only one responded more favorably to the control diet than the trial diet. There was no correlation between a positive prick test to egg and cows' milk antigen and response to the trial diet.
