Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Allergology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Eosinophilic colitis is increasingly diagnosed in exclusively breast-fed infants.
  • Cow's milk protein antigens are a known trigger for this condition.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the characteristics and treatment outcomes of eosinophilic colitis in exclusively breast-fed infants.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic approaches.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 13 exclusively breast-fed infants with allergic colitis revealed digestive symptoms, primarily bloody stools.
  • Biopsies showed inflammation with eosinophil increase; maternal cow's milk protein exclusion was the initial treatment.
  • Ten infants required protein-free hydrolysates, while three improved with modified breastfeeding and hydrolysate.
