BACKGROUND Dysentery is one of the children's common disease for which various infectious and non-infectious reasons have been explained for it. Since determination of the cause especially with age segregation helps the experimental treatment, this study has been executed to establish relative Of frequency of dysentery causes and its comparison below and above the age of six months. METHODS T...

INTRODUCTION Current treatment of food allergies consists of the elimination of the offending food from the diet. Desensitization or tolerance induction can be an alternative for those children who have not achieved tolerance spontaneously. We propose a cow's milk desensitization protocol carried out in an outpatient setting over a 9-10 week period. PATIENTS AND METHOD Eighteen children older...

BACKGROUND IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies in infants. It is still controversial whether the early introduction of cow's milk formula (CMF) prevents the development of CMA. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the duration and frequency of CMF ingestion as compere with exclusive breast-fed for preventing CMA in high-risk infants. METHODS We enrolled ...

BACKGROUND Masked allergens in processed food products can lead to severe allergic reactions following unintentional ingestion. We sought to develop a murine model for the detection of hidden cow's milk proteins (CMP). This study aimed to induce cow's milk allergy in mice, to characterize the anaphylaxis induced by CMP in this model, and to validate its reliability using three margarines manufa...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the cost-effectiveness of three alternative dietetic strategies for cow's milk allergy in Brazil: 1) using an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula (eHCF; Nutramigen) as a first-line formula, but switching to an amino acid formula (AAF) if infants remain symptomatic; 2) using an AAF as a first-line formula and then switching to an eHCF after 4 weeks once infants are sympto...

Methods We study 23 children with CMA that met the following criteria: clinical history of IgE-mediated CMA in the last 6 months and specific IgE (sIgE) for cow’s milk (CM) ≥ 15 kU/L (> 2 years) or ≥ 5 kU/L (< 2 years). On study entry, basal serum levels for sIgE for CM and casein plus sIgG4 for casein were obtained. The study was divided into 2 stages. In the first 12 months, patients were ran...

Introduction: The prevention and management of cow milk allergy (CMA) is still debated. Since CMA is much less frequent in breastfed infants, breastfeeding should be stimulated. Method: Literature was searched using databases to find original papers and reviews on this topic. Results: Hydrolysates with a clinical proof of efficacy are recommended in the prevention and treatment of CMA. However,...

food allergies are common health problem among children. they carry a significant risk of severe allergic reactions. these disorders are chronic conditions in which the immune system becomes hypersensitive to some food products. it is estimated that 8% of children under the age of three have a type of food allergy. the common allergenic foods include cow’s milk, wheat, peanuts, egg, soy and fis...

Six infants were affected with intractable diarrh¬ea and therefore admitted to our ward. That was the birth of allergy, which revolutionized the medical world. Such as Jobs changed our way of living, we insured to sick babies and children a new way of living with allergy, when not escaping it the figures 1-3 show a rare microscopic appearance of the immune cells involved in an oral provocation ...
