Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Seventeen of 52 children suspected of having cow's milk allergy had this diagnosis confirmed after milk challenge in hospital. A broad spectrum of reactions was obsserved including skin eruptions, respiratory symptoms and gastrointestinal disturbance. Not all patients with gastrointestinal symptoms showed small bowel mucosal damage. Only patients with skin reactions had positive skin tests. IgA deficiency and IgE elevation were common. Four patients had symptoms within 3 days of birth. Twelve children tolerated cow's milk by three years of age. Cow's milk allergy can cause a variety of symptoms. Challenge with milk for several days may be required before allergic manifestations can be demonstrated.
