Single low-dose exposure to cow's milk at diagnosis accelerates cow's milk allergic infants' progress on a milk ladder programme.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common food allergies in infancy. Most infants with CMPA tolerate baked milk from diagnosis and gradually acquire increased tolerance. Nevertheless, parents often display significant anxiety about this condition and a corresponding reluctance to progress with home introduction of dairy due to concerns about possible allergic reactions.

Objective

To evaluate the impact on gradual home introduction of foods containing cows' milk after a supervised, single low-dose exposure to whole milk at time of diagnosis.

Methods

Infants less than 12 months old referred with suspected IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy were recruited to an open-label randomized, controlled trial of intervention-a single dose of fresh cow's
