Summary

This study tested a low-dose oral immunotherapy (OIT) treatment for young children aged 18-36 months with allergies to two nuts. Over 18 months, one group received daily tiny doses of the nuts they were allergic to, while the other group avoided them completely. The goal was to see if the treatment helped children tolerate the nuts without reacting, even after stopping treatment for a few weeks. The study included 12 children in an initial pilot phase.
