OBJECTIVE To study the association between analfissures and cow's milk allergy (CMA) in infants. METHODS AND METHOD: In a prospective study, 72 confirmed cases of CMA in infants were examined for anal fissure by pediatricians with five years' experience. A positive finding was defined as when an anal fissure was detected by at least two out of three examiners. RESULTS Of infants with CMA with...

Background The prevalence of food allergy (FA) is increasing; consequently the number of patients on elimination diet (ED) due to a suspected diagnosis is also increasing. Diagnosis of food allergy should be based on a convincing history of allergic reactions or on the result of an oral food challenge test. The oral food challenge test (OFC) is the most reliable clinical procedure for diagnosin...

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is used regularly for young children with cow's milk (CM) allergy and has been shown to be effective in several studies. However, adverse events occur frequently during OIT. Furthermore, there are only 5 randomized controlled trial studies of CM-OIT and these are low-powered single center trials. Therefore, evidence levels are also low and sometimes frequent and severe ...

Cow's milk protein allergy is a growing problem in developed countries. We report the case of a Chinese infant, born at term, who presented on day 28 with severe growth failure, chronic diarrhoea, and metabolic acidosis. Investigations supported a diagnosis of cow's milk protein allergy. This was confirmed by withdrawing and reintroducing the relevant infant formula under controlled clinical co...

BACKGROUND Food allergy, which becomes an important public health problem, can lead to important morbidity and mortality. Patients with food allergies are more likely to first present to their primary care physicians. We aimed to determine the knowledge of primary care physicians with regard to management of food allergies and anaphylaxis. METHODS Primary care physicians were surveyed via a q...

PURPOSE Food allergy has been demonstrated to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome (AEDS), affecting often atopic infants and young children. The most commonly offending foods are cow's milk, hen's egg, wheat and soy; implicating immediate (IgE-mediated) and late-phase (T-cells) immunological reactions in the pathogenesis of skin lesions. The diagnosti...

but robust approach towards the identification of markers that enable the prediction of the outcome of oral immunotherapy for cow’s milk allergy. By means of ELISA, the authors determined specific IgE, IgA, IgG subclass levels against cow’s milk extract, natural single cow’s milk allergens and the egg allergen ovalbumin in 40 children with cow’s milk allergy before and after immunotherapy. Seve...
