Cow's milk allergy impacts infants, involving both IgE and T cell reactions. Diagnosis is shifting from food challenges to antibody tests, with management focusing on avoidance and special formulas.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Cow's milk allergy (CMA) affects about 2% of infants under two years old.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology and immunological mechanisms of CMA is crucial for effective management.
  • The clinical presentation of CMA is diverse, encompassing immediate, intermediate, and late-onset reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in understanding the pathophysiology and immunological mechanisms of cow's milk allergy.
  • To summarize the clinical spectrum and diagnostic approaches for CMA in infants.
  • To outline current treatment strategies for CMA.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent advances in CMA pathophysiology and immunology.

  • Analysis of clinical manifestations and diagnostic methods.
  • Summary of established and emerging treatment options.

    • Main Results:

    • Cow's milk allergy involves both IgE-mediated and T cell-mediated immunological reactions.
    • The clinical spectrum of CMA is broad, including atopic dermatitis, colic, reflux, and enterocolitis.
    • Diagnostic methods are evolving, with a move towards antibody testing and skin tests over food challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Cow's milk allergy is a complex condition with varied presentations and underlying immunological mechanisms.
    • Current diagnostic approaches are shifting, with non-invasive tests gaining prominence.
    • Management primarily involves allergen avoidance, specialized formulas, and dietary modifications for breastfed infants.
