چکیده

can cause morbidity in the infant or mother (or both), through inadequate intake of dietary components, especially calcium.6 In extreme cases this can lead to rickets.6 Acutely, IgE mediated cow’s milk allergy can result in anaphylaxis, hypoxia, and shock. Chronically, either form can lead to anaemia, hypoalbuminaemia, and faltering growth.

Failure of this can cause families to resort to medical or paramedical practitioners who offer non-validated tests and inadequately supervised treatment regimens.
