Evaluating the role of clinical history and laboratorial tests in IgE mediated cow's milk allergy diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background IgE mediated cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is a frequent disease in pediatric population, and challenge tests are considered gold standard in its diagnosis, although its use is limited in clinical practice. An appropriated anamnesis and laboratorial analysis are the most frequent and feasible used tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of these practices in IgE mediated CMA diagnosis.

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...
متن کاملAtopy patch tests are useful to predict oral tolerance in children with gastrointestinal symptoms related to non-IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy
Atopy patch tests (APTs) have been proposed for the diagnostic approach in children with non-IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy and gastrointestinal symptoms. We aimed to investigate the benefit of APTs in predicting oral tolerance in these patients. We prospectively evaluated 172 subjects with a sure diagnosis of non-IgE-mediated CMA and gastrointestinal symptoms (97 boys, 56.4%; age, 6.37 m; ran...
