Distribution characteristics of cow's milk-sIgE components in children with respiratory allergic diseases in southern China.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cow's milk (CM) is the main food allergen for toddlers and infants. Presently, studies on CM specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) sensitization and positive distribution of CM components ALA-, CAS-, and BLG-sIgE are lacking in infants with respiratory allergic diseases, especially in southern China. This study therefore aimed to investigate the distribution of CM sensitization and the relation between its components ?-lactalbumin (ALA), ?-lactoglobulin (BLG) and casein (CAS) sIgE in children with respiratory allergic diseases in southern China. METHODS:A total of 1839 children (?12?years) with respiratory diseases and detected CM-sIgE levels were included. Serum samples were collected from the Respiratory Diseases Bioresources Center of the National Center for Respiratory Diseases in southern China from August 2012 to July 2017. ALA-, BLG-, and CAS-sIgE were detected and questionnaires were completed in 103 children. RESULTS:A total of 36.7% children were positive for CM-sIgE. CM-sIgE levels were higher in asthmatic bronchitis (AB) group than in other allergic respiratory disease groups (all P?

<h4>Background</h4>Cow's milk (CM) is the main food allergen for toddlers and infants. Presently, studies on CM specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) sensitization and positive distribution of CM components ALA-, CAS-, and BLG-sIgE are lacking in infants with respiratory allergic diseases, especially in southern China.

Project description:BackgroundCow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common food allergies in infancy. Most infants with CMPA tolerate baked milk from diagnosis and gradually acquire increased tolerance. Nevertheless, parents often display significant anxiety about this condition and a corresponding reluctance to progress with home introduction of dairy due to concerns about possible allergic reactions.ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact on gradual home introduction of foods containing cows' milk after a supervised, single low-dose exposure to whole milk at time of diagnosis.MethodsInfants less than 12 months old referred with suspected IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy were recruited to an open-label randomized, controlled trial of intervention-a single dose of fresh cow's milk, using the validated dose of milk that would elicit reactions in 5% of CMPA subjects-the ED05 - vs routine care. Both groups implemented graded exposure to CM (using the 12 step MAP Milk Tolerance Induction Ladder), at home. Parents completed food allergy quality of life questionnaires and State and Trait Anxiety Inventories (STAI). Main outcome measures were milk ladder position at 6 months and 12 months post-randomization.ResultsSixty patients were recruited, 57 (95%) were followed to 6 months. By 6 months, 27/37 (73%) intervention subjects had reached step 6 or above on the milk ladder compared to 10/20 (50%) control subjects (p = .048). By 6 months, 11/37 (30%) intervention subjects had reached step 12 (i.e. drinking unheated cow's milk) compared to 2/20 (10%) of the controls (p = .049). Twelve months post-randomization, 31/36(86%) of the intervention group and 15/19(79%) of the control group were on step 6 or above. However, 24/37 (65%) of the intervention group were at step 12 compared to 7/20 (35%) of the control group (p = .03). Maternal STAIs were significantly associated with their infants' progress on the milk ladder and with changes in skin prick test and spIgE levels at 6 and 12 months.ConclusionThis study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of introduction of baked milk implemented immediately after diagnosis of cows' milk allergy in a very young cohort. A supervised single dose of milk at the ED05 significantly accelerates this further, probably by giving parents the confidence to proceed. Maternal anxiety generally reflects infants' progress towards completion of the milk ladder, but pre-existing high levels of maternal anxiety are associated with poorer progress.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent guidelines emphasize early introduction to potentially allergenic foods, but the optimal timing, amount, and exposure routes for foods other than peanut are not well-established. Cow's milk is often the first allergenic food introduced through infant formulas.ObjectiveTo examine timing of cow's milk protein introduction (CMPI), including interaction with formula supplementation after delivery, in relation to reported cow's milk adverse reactions throughout childhood.MethodsAmong children in the Boston, Mass-area Project Viva cohort, we assessed timing of CMPI (<2 weeks, 2 weeks-<6 months, ≥6 months) with questionnaires administered in infancy. Outcomes were (1) parent-reported cow's milk adverse reactions via annual questionnaires from age 2 to 13 years (n = 1298) and (2) milk sensitization (n = 505) and IgE-mediated milk allergy (n = 491) at age approximately 8 years. We used multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for parental atopy history, delivery mode, gestational age at delivery, child race, and census tract median household income, and investigated effect modification by ever/never breast-fed status and formula supplementation in the delivery hospital.ResultsA total of 32% were introduced to cow's milk protein at age less than 2 weeks, 38% at age 2 weeks to less than 6 months, and 30% at age 6 months or more. Compared with children with CMPI at age less than 2 weeks, children with CMPI at age 6 months or more had a higher risk of cow's milk adverse reaction at age 2 to 5 years (odds ratio, 2.4 [1.2-4.7]). Children given formula after delivery + CMPI at age less than 2 weeks had the lowest risk overall. Among children not given formula after delivery, CMPI at age 2 weeks to 6 months appeared most protective. Results were similar among ever-breast-fed children. Timing of CMPI was not associated with milk sensitization or IgE-mediated milk allergy in mid-childhood.ConclusionsEarly, consistent cow's milk exposure appears protective against adverse reactions to cow's milk.
