The importance of component-resolved diagnostics in IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy

Component resolved diagnostics for hymenoptera venom allergy

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Component-resolved diagnostics makes use of defined allergen molecules to analyse IgE-mediated sensitizations at a molecular level. Here, we review recent studies on the use of component-resolved diagnostics in the field of Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) and discuss its benefits and limitations. RECENT FINDINGS Component resolution in HVA has moved from single molecules to ...

The Usefulness of Component-Resolved Diagnostics in Food Allergy

© Copyright The Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Clinical Immunology • The Korean Academy of Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Disease http://e-aair.org The gold standard for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy is an oral food challenge (OFC) that directly verifies the causal relationship between clinical symptoms and offending foods. However, OFC carries a risk of developing fatal ...

Ige-mediated Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy

Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a common condition present in approximately 2-7.5% of children. The diagnosis is usually made in the first 12 months of life by taking a thorough clinical history and by performing confirmatory special investigations. These may include skin-prick tests, blood tests and an oral food challenge, which remains the gold standard investigation. Allergic reactions ...

The natural history of IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy.

BACKGROUND Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in infants and young children, affecting 2% to 3% of the general population. Most studies have shown the prognosis of developing tolerance to cow's milk to be good, with most outgrowing their allergy by age 3 years. OBJECTIVE To define the natural course of CMA and identify the factors that best predict outcome in a large ref...
