milk hypersensitivity/diarrhea

There is general agreement that chronic diarrhea due to cow's milk allergy (CMA) resolves with a cow's milk-free diet, and that tolerance to cow's milk is achieved by 2 years of life. We have followed for 4 to 10 years, 41 infants with chronic diarrhea due to CMA, who had at onset of diarrhea RAST

Four neonates with sudden onset of bloody diarrhea and barium enema findings suggestive of segmental colitis are reported. The infants were not very ill and in all four, the condition was self-limiting. An exact etiology for the condition was not determined but in all of the infants a possible

In 47 infants and children aged 4-66 months with clinically proven cow's milk allergy and in a group of age-matched controls, serum IgG, IgA and IgM cow's milk-specific antibodies were determined with ELISA assays while IgE cow's milk-specific antibodies were measured with Pharmacia RAST. The

Acute gastroenteritis remains a common and often severe illness among infants and children throughout the world. The management of a child with acute diarrhea includes rehydration and maintenance fluids with oral rehydration solutions (ORS), combined with continued age-appropriate nutrition.

Clinical manifestations of cow's milk allergy rarely occur in the first days after birth. We report on a newborn presenting with hemorrhagic meconium in the first hour of life followed by bloody diarrhea in the next few days. At day 14, an elevated total IgE, specific IgE to cow's milk and an

BACKGROUND Recent reports have suggested that gastroesophageal reflux in pediatric patients may be caused by food allergy. OBJECTIVE 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

In a study of the manifestations of cow milk allergy in 100 young children (mean age 16 months), 30 items of historical data and information relating to the effects of a standardized milk challenge were entered into a computer data base. Three clusters of patients were derived using a K-means

The diagnosis of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy was considered in 303 infants aged less than 1 year, who presented with one or more of the following symptoms: acute reaction related to cow's milk proteins (CMP) ingestion, severe colics, persisting vomiting, protracted diarrhea with or without blood and

Bloody diarrhea is a common problem in children. It is important to distinguish bloody diarrhea from other causes of rectal bleeding. Bacterial infections and parasitic infestations are responsible for most of the cases. Milk allergy is a frequent cause in young infants. Chronic inflammatory bowel

The most frequent symptoms among the manifestations of cow milk allergy (CMA) are gastrointestinal. CMA pathogenesis involves immunological mechanisms with participation of immunocompetent cells, production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). We aim to determine whether cow

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and cow milk allergy (CMA) occur frequently in infants younger than 1 year. In recent years, the relation between these 2 entities has been investigated and some important conclusions have been reached: in up to half of the cases of GER in infants younger than 1 year,

OBJECTIVE To determine if allergy to cows milk was responsible for symptoms in two children. METHODS Single patient trial. METHODS General Practice in New Zealand. METHODS Two children aged about 6 months METHODS Alternating bottles of soya-based milk and cow's milk provided by neighbours over their

A case of cow's milk allergy related to type I and type III allergic reactions is reported. The patient is a one-month-old girl. She had watery diarrhea and abdominal distention soon after commencement of milk feeding two weeks after birth. She was cyanotic and floppy on admission. Intravenous

OBJECTIVE Infantile persistent diarrhea series are not well documented in the literature. Evaluating the literature, the aim of this study was to document persistent diarrhea cases followed in our center and to constitute a practical diagnostic algorithm for the pediatrician by means of surveying
