Comparison of Cross Reactions Between Cow’s Milk and Other Mammals’ Milk Using Skin Prick Test and Atopy Patch Test in Children with Atopic Dermatitis and Cow’s Milk Allergy

Ass's milk in children with atopic dermatitis and cow's milk allergy: crossover comparison with goat's milk.

Cow milk allergy is a common disease of infancy, often associated with atopic dermatitis (AD). Avoidance of cow milk (CM) implies the use of alternative dietary supports such as mammalian milks. In this study, we assessed the tolerability and clinical effect of ass's milk (AM), when compared with the largely used goat's milk (GM) in a single-blind, controlled, randomized crossover. Twenty-eight...

Egg and cows' milk allergy in children.

The relationships between a history of egg or cows' milk allergy, positive skin tests to these allergens, and atopic illness were examined in a sample of 126 children. Positive skin tests were found more often in children with a history of egg or cows' milk allergy than in children with no such history. 40 children suspected of being allergic to egg or milk, by history or by positive skin tests...

Evaluation of the Frequency of Food Allergens by Skin Prick Test in Children with Atopic Dermatitis

Background: The role of food allergy in atopic dermatitis (AD) is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of food allergens in children with AD. Method: Fifty one atopic dermatitis children aged 6 months to 5 years entered our study. The severity of AD was determined by scoring index of AD (SCORAD). Skin prick test (SPT) was done using 15 allergens including the whit...

Mycobacterium bovis detection from milk of negative skin test cows

MycobacteriuM bovis is the bovine tuberculosis (bTB) agent, which is still an important infection in bovine herds. Apart from this, bTB is also a zoonotic disease, and human beings can be infected by the consumption of non-pasteurised milk and its derivatives (Michel and others 2010). Hence, bTB is still endemic worldwide (Humblet and others 2009). The single intradermal test (SIT) is a worldwi...
