Severity profile of cow milk protein allergy IgE mediated

Ige-mediated Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy

Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a common condition present in approximately 2-7.5% of children. The diagnosis is usually made in the first 12 months of life by taking a thorough clinical history and by performing confirmatory special investigations. These may include skin-prick tests, blood tests and an oral food challenge, which remains the gold standard investigation. Allergic reactions ...

The challenge of cow milk protein allergy

Hypersensitivity to cow milk proteins is one of the main food allergies and affects mostly but not exclusively infants, while it may also persist through adulthood and can be very severe. Different clinical symptoms of milk allergy have been established. The diagnosis of milk allergy differs widely due to the multiplicity and degrees of symptoms, and can be achieved by skin or blood tests. Cow ...

[Non IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy].

Early exposure to cow's milk protein is protective against IgE-mediated cow's milk protein allergy.

BACKGROUND The diversity in the perceived prevalence, recovery, and risk factors for cow's milk allergy (CMA) necessitated a large-scale, population-based prospective study. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the prevalence, cross-reactivity with soy allergy, and risk factors for the development of CMA. METHODS In a prospective study the feeding history of 13,019 infants was obtained by means...

The natural history of IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy.

BACKGROUND Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in infants and young children, affecting 2% to 3% of the general population. Most studies have shown the prognosis of developing tolerance to cow's milk to be good, with most outgrowing their allergy by age 3 years. OBJECTIVE To define the natural course of CMA and identify the factors that best predict outcome in a large ref...
