Abstract
Background: Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) is a non-IgE-associated disease, although some evidence exhibits IgE sensitization in a minority of patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of IgE sensitization to common foods using skin tests and assess milk outgrowing in infants with FPIAP over a 5-year follow-up period.
Methods: This prospective study included infants with FPIAP in 2017. Skin prick tests were done using commercial extracts of 11 common food allergens. Infants were followed for 5 years, and the resolution was established by successfully ingesting cow's milk.
Results: Of 126 infants analyzed, 81 infants (40 boys and 41 girls) with FPIAP completed this study. The frequency of food sensitization was 32% to at least one of the applied food allergens. Cow's milk (13.6%), egg (13.6%), and beef (6.2%) were the most frequent allergens, respectively. In this study, 45.7% of the infants developed a tolerance to the milk by the age of 1 year, 77.1% by the age of 2, 91.3% by the age of 3, and 96.3% by the age of 4. The rate of sensitization to milk was significantly different based on the tolerance time of early onset and grated late start for cow's milk (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: This study suggests pointing out skin tests of infants with FPIAP for common food allergens because IgE-mediated sensitization can infer a greater chance of a persistent course of milk intolerance.
期刊介绍:
Asia Pacific Allergy (AP Allergy) is the official journal of the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI). Although the primary aim of the journal is to promote communication between Asia Pacific scientists who are interested in allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology including immunodeficiency, the journal is intended to be available worldwide. To enable scientists and clinicians from emerging societies appreciate the scope and intent of the journal, early issues will contain more educational review material. For better communication and understanding, it will include rational concepts related to the diagnosis and management of asthma and other immunological conditions. Over time, the journal will increase the number of original research papers to become the foremost citation journal for allergy and clinical immunology information of the Asia Pacific in the future.
