Popis: The oral food challenge test (OFC) is the gold standard for evaluating the remission of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). Few acute FPIES remissions confirmed by OFC were reported. This study aimed to examine the OFC for Japanese children with acute FPIES to evaluate its remission. A retrospective cohort study was performed on children with acute FPIES with remission evaluation by OFC based on one food challenge dose (1/50, 1/10, 1/2, and full dose per day). Acute FPIES remission was observed in 65.2% of patients (15/23 patients). Vomiting episodes occurred with 1/50 full doses on the first day among 75% of positive patients. The median duration between the onset and OFC was 14 months (IQR, 8–24 months). Soy was the most common causative food, followed by egg yolk, milk, and wheat. All patients could receive OFC safely without intensive care unit care, based on the FPIES OFC protocol. The remission rate of acute FPIES was high. However, vomiting episodes commonly occurred with 1/50 full doses on the first day. This study suggested that our OFC protocol for acute FPIES was safe and feasible, but it might be safer for some patients to start at a minimal loading dose.
