Ig E Mediated Cows Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Cow’s milk protein allergy is defined as an abnormal reaction by the body’s immune system to whey proteins and casein found in cow’s milk. It can result in gastrointestional, repiratory as well as skin problem. Here we report a case in a 6 month infant of GI symptomsof watery loose stools, associated with blood and mucus with vomiting and decreased urine output due to cow milk. Cow’s milk protein allergy is mostly confused with infection. Early diagnosis and treatment initiation is a key to positive outcome. Breast feeding is the gold standard for milk feeding in infant nutrition and is recommended exclusively for the first 6 months of age. Keywords: cow milk protein allergy(CMPA),whey proteins, casein, IgE.
