Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Allergy and Immunology
Background:
- Cow's milk protein-induced pulmonary disease is a severe condition.
- It can manifest with recurrent pneumonia and anemia in infants and children.
Abstract:
Cow's milk protein-induced pulmonary disease is a serious condition which, if recognized, can be treated effectively by avoidance of milk protein; untreated it may lead to early death. It should be considered in any child who suffers recurrent episodes of pneumonia and anemia.
