Acta Pediatrica Mar 22, 2019
Douros K, et al. - In this five-year (2013-2017) retrospective study, researchers analyzed the clinical features, causative agents and outcomes of 78 Greek children with food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), a non-immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated food allergy. For diagnosis, only five kids needed an oral food challenge (OFC), but 54 kids had OFCs to monitor the development of tolerance. The most common food allergies in the series of Greek children with FPIES were fish and milk. Data reported that the median tolerance age based on negative OFCs results occurred at 34.0 (26.6-58.4) months. It took longer to resolve their allergies cases with IgE sensitisation to the food trigger.
