Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test called the basophil activation test (BAT) can accurately diagnose food allergies in children, potentially replacing the need for oral food challenges (OFCs). Researchers tested 116 children and compared BAT results with standard OFC outcomes. The goal was to see if BAT could safely reduce the number of OFCs needed by at least half.
