Background Hazelnut-allergic children express variable clinical phenotypes. Tests for the diagnosis of hazelnut allergy are usually conducted on children presenting clinical symptoms following hazelnut ingestion, but also as screening tests after the discovery of a food allergy, mainly to tree nut or peanut. It is important to determine if molecular allergens could be markers of severity in hazelnut allergy.
