Erratum: Butter Tolerance in Children Allergic to Cow's Milk
نویسندگان
چکیده
We performed an oral food challenge (OFC) with 10 g of butter (equivalent of 2.9 mL cow's milk) and 25-mL heated cow's milk for 68 children with cow's milk-allergy. Thirty-eight children reacted only to heated cow's milk. Twenty-four children reacted to neither heated milk nor butter. Thirty-eight (86.4%) of 44 patients with positive results to the OFC for heated milk could safely tolerate butter. It is highly likely that even children with cow's milk-allergy who show positive results to an OFC for heated milk can consume butter. The milk-specific IgE value indicative of a negative predictive value of over 95% was 17.8 kUA/L, and patients with low milk-specific IgE values may be able to safely consume butter. Including butter in the diets of patients with milk-allergy after a butter challenge may improve quality of life.

Usefulness of the ratio total IgE / specific IgE (sIgE) to predict tolerance in children allergic to cow's milk proteins (CMP)
Background Cow’s milk (CM) IgE-mediated allergy is the most common food allergy in children. It affects 2 3% of the general population. About 80% of children allergic to CMP reach natural tolerance in the third year of life. It remains difficult to decide when it is time to attempt a controlled food challenge (CFC) to reintroduce CM in their diets. Objectives. To evaluate if the ratio total IgE...
متن کاملHeated Allergens and Induction of Tolerance in Food Allergic Children
Food allergies are one of the first manifestations of allergic disease and have been shown to significantly impact on general health perception, parental emotional distress and family activities. It is estimated that in the Western world, almost one in ten children have an IgE-mediated allergy. Cow's milk and egg allergy are common childhood allergies. Until recently, children with food allergy...

BACKGROUND Although the natural history of cow's milk allergy is to resolve during childhood or adolescence, a small but significant proportion of children will remain allergic. Specific oral tolerance induction to cow's milk (CM-SOTI) provides a treatment option in these children with continuing allergy with high success rates. However current sentiment limits widespread availability as existi...

Specific oral tolerance induction to food (SOTI) is a new promising treatmentfor persistent IgE-mediatedfood allergy. Our paper reports a case of a 5-year-old girl with cow's milk allergy, who developed severe anaphylaxis after the ingestion of a croissant containing sheep's milk ricotta cheese, even though she had been previously desensitized to cow's milk through SOTI. The sheep's milk specif...
متن کاملRole of Cellular Immunity in Cow's Milk Allergy: Pathogenesis, Tolerance Induction, and Beyond
Food allergy is an aberrant immune-mediated reaction against harmless food substances, such as cow's milk proteins. Due to its very early introduction, cow's milk allergy is one of the earliest and most common food allergies. For this reason cow's milk allergy can be recognized as one of the first indications of an aberrant inflammatory response in early life. Classically, cow's milk allergy, a...
