Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is complex, with varied triggers and immune responses differing by age. Misdiagnosis is common, leading to unnecessary dairy avoidance and nutritional issues.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a significant health concern, particularly in infants.
  • Reactions involve diverse milk proteins and multiple immunological mechanisms, varying with age.
  • Public misconceptions, including confusion with lactose intolerance, lead to widespread self-diagnosis and unnecessary dairy avoidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology and natural history of CMA.
  • To elucidate the triggers and immunological mechanisms underlying CMA.
  • To examine prevention strategies and therapeutic approaches for CMA.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidemiological data.
  • Analysis of immunological studies on CMA mechanisms.

  • Evaluation of current prevention and treatment strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • CMA exhibits significant heterogeneity in protein/epitope reactivity and immunological pathways.
    • IgE-mediated reactions are prevalent in infancy, shifting to non-IgE-mediated in adults.
    • Self-diagnosed CMA is 10-fold higher than clinically confirmed cases, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • CMA's complexity contributes to misconceptions and diagnostic errors.
    • Understanding CMA's varied mechanisms is crucial for effective management and nutritional guidance.
    • Further research into prevention and cures for CMA is essential.
