چکیده
Case report A fourteen-year old boy was referred to our clinic for follow-up with the diagnosis of cow’s milk allergy. At 3 months of age, he had immediate rash around his mouth and vomiting when he was first introduced with infant formula. Since then, he was on a milk restriction diet. He had three anaphylactic reactions needing emergency visit, and epinephrine injections. His last anaphylactic reaction was 2 months before the referral. His serum specific IgE was 49.8 kU/L.

Ig-E mediated cow’s milk allergy was convinced by skin prick test and/or specific IgE. Double – blind placebo controlled food challenge has confirmed the diagnosis. All children were observed on the f...

متن کاملRole of basophil activation test for monitoring the immunological changes during desnsitization to cow’s milk: a case report
The basophil activation test (BAT) has proven to be a useful tool for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy and the evaluation of clinical tolerance in food allergic patients. Until now, successful oral desensitization to food allergen has been correlated with changes in cytokine production (IL-4 and INF-g) and allergenspecific IgE and IgG4 antibodies. We report a case of a 12-year-old mal...
