Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy

Abstract:

 Background: Cow's milk is one of the most common food allergens in children. Recently a Strong association between gastrointestinal surgeries in young age and cow’s milk protein allergy is suspected.Objective: to detect the prevalence rate of cow’s milk allergy among young children who underwent GIT surgical operations and compare it with other children who underwent simple operations not involving GIT tract as circumcision and inguinal hernia as well as comparing with healthy children who did not undergo any surgical operations.Patients and Methods: Our studied sample comprised 148 infants and children classified into three groups, group I those who had a history of major Gastrointestinal tract surgery done, group II those who had a history of minor surgery and Group III healthy children who had no history of surgery, their age ranged between 2 months to 39 months.Results: Results showed that CMPA was diagnosed in 11 out of 148 (7.4%) studied patients diagnosed by positive cow's milk withdrawal - rechallenge test. In our study out of the 48 cases who underwent major GIT surgery, 5 (10.4%) of them developed CMPA after surgery while 6 (6%) out of 100 of control (Group II & III) developed CMPA. So, CMPA was higher in Group I than the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients who underwent major gastrointestinal tract surgeries require a careful clinical monitoring for the tolerance to cow’s milk proteins after surgery because CMPA could be more frequent than expected.
