[New way in dietotherapy of infants with food allergy]
Insights
Infant atopic dermatitis improved with a specialized diet. Cow's milk allergy, indicated by high IgE levels, responded well to the "Nanny" formula, leading to remission in most cases.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Immunology
- Dermatology
Context:
- Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition in infants.
- Cow's milk protein allergy frequently co-occurs with atopic dermatitis.
- Elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are associated with allergic conditions.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a specialized infant formula in managing atopic dermatitis.
- To investigate the immunological markers, specifically IgE levels, in infants with atopic dermatitis.
- To assess the impact of diet therapy on cow's milk protein allergy in infants.
Summary:
- A study followed 50 infants (1-9 months) with atopic dermatitis, observing clinical improvement in 83% within 1-3 weeks of treatment.
- Immunological examinations revealed elevated total IgE and specific IgE antibodies to cow's milk proteins in a significant number of infants.
- Dietary intervention using the "Nanny" infant formula led to remission in the majority of infants with confirmed cow's milk protein allergy.
Impact:
- The findings suggest that targeted diet therapy with "Nanny" formula is effective for infants suffering from atopic dermatitis and cow's milk protein allergy.
- This research highlights the importance of identifying and managing food allergies in infants with severe atopic dermatitis.
- The study provides evidence for the role of immunological markers in diagnosing and managing allergic conditions in pediatric patients.
Abstract:
The authors followed up (in outpatient conditions) a total of fifty 1-to-9-mounth-old infants with the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis, disseminated form, of subacute course. The infants were followed up for 3-12 months, with 83% of the 113 examined patients 1-3 weeks after the beginning of treatment having shown clinical improvement of cutaneous inflammatory processes. Of the 172 infants subjected to immunological examination, in 100--the level of total IgE in blood serum was significantly elevated. These children also had elevated level of the specific IgE antibodies to cow's milk proteins. The outcomes of the carried out dietotherapy using mixture "Nanny" showed that this therapeutic product resulted in remission in the majority of the followed up infants suffering from allergy to cow's milk proteins.

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
