Nutrition of allergic babies and children.

چکیده
Atopic diseases of babies and children are frequent, disabilitating, chronic and even life-threatening. The currently available cow's milk (CM) substitutes for infants with CM allergy (CMA) are soy protein (SP) formulas (SPFs), hydrolyzed formulas (HF), and homemade meat-based formulas. However, in the past few years the antigenicity/allergenicity of SPFs has been over-emphasized in the medical literature. We have demonstrated that SPF allergy incidence in oral food challenge (OFC)/doubleblind food challenge (DBFC)-based epidemiological studies attains 3-4%. CM-based protein hydrolysates have provoked 200 severe and less severe reactions.
