Epileptic seizures as a manifestation of cow's milk allergy: a studied relationship and description of our pediatric experience
2014
Adverse reactions after ingestion of cow's milk proteins can occur at any age, from birth and even amongst exclusively breast-fed infants, although not all of these are hypersensitivity reactions. The most common presentations related to cow's milk protein allergy are skin reactions, failure to thrive, anaphylaxis as well as gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. In addition, several cases of cow's milk protein allergy in the literature have documented neurological involvement, manifesting with convulsive seizures in children. This may be due to CNS spread of a peripheral inflammatory response. Furthermore, there is evidence that pro-inflammatory cytokines are responsible for disruptin…
685 Food Allergy - Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease Association in Infants
2012
Background Cow’s milk allergy is considered to be the first and most common type of allergy during early infancy. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease and cow’s milk allergy are two different diseases with common clinical features. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical data in relation with gastroesophageal reflux and cow’s milk allergy in infants. Material and Methods The prospective study includes 36 infants aged between 2–6 months who attended at Pediatric Clinic during the year 2011 for the clinical evocative manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux. Study protocol includes: clinical criteria, familial/personal atopic features, mother diet, duration of breastfeeding, infant for…
IgG, IgA, and IgE Antibodies to Cow Milk Proteins in an Allergy Prevention Study
1991
In the last few years, several trials have been carried out to determine if certain feeding regimens in neonates prevent atopic diseases1–13. In our country, there is a continuing debate about nutritional supplementation of breast milk with hydrolysate formulas: in the first days of life should only newborns at allergy risk8,9,11,14, or should all newborns be fed only breast milk? This age is claimed to be an especially vulnerable period for a sensitization against foreign proteins because of intestinal immaturity and inexperienced gut-associated lymphoid tissue15. A prospective Danish study revealed cases of cow’s milk allergy only among those breastfed infants who had received cow’s milk …
Sensitization in early age to food allergens in children with atopic dermatitis
2007
Background: Clinical and laboratory evidence increasingly supports the notion that food allergy plays a role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, the prevalence of clinically significant food hypersensitivity among children with AD remains an unanswered question. Objective: To prospectively determine the prevalence of IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity among patients referred to a dermatology department for evaluation of AD, and to analyze the clinical relevance of these sensitizations in AD. Methods: We studied 44 infants of both sexes, aged less than 12 months old, who attended the dermatology department with symptoms of AD. Compliance with Hanifin-Rajka criteria was co…
Gastroesophageal reflux and cow's milk allergy in infants: A prospective study
1996
Recent reports have suggested that gastroesophageal reflux in pediatric patients may be caused by food allergy.The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of the association of gastroesophageal reflux with cow's milk protein allergy in patients win the first year of life.We studied 204 consecutive patients (median age, 6.3 months) who had been diagnosed as having gastroesophageal reflux on the basis of 24-hour continuous pH monitoring and histologic examination of the esophageal mucosa.Clinical history suggested diagnosis of cow's milk allergy in 19 infants, and 93 others had positive test results (serum IgE anti-lactoglobulin, prick tests, circulating or fecal or nasal mucus eosino…
