Clinical Trial Summary

Cow milk allergy is one of the most frequent food allergy among children. Cow milk protein's avoidance is needed until spontaneous recovery during the two first years of life. A atypical clinical form with angio-oedema of hands and feet which is associated with high rate of lactoserum's IgE might be a hope of an earlier recovery.

Description:

Cow Milk allergy is one of the most frequent pediatric food allergy and occurs during the first months of life. It is due to an inappropriate reaction of immune system against the human body. Its treatment is the avoidance of the cow milk proteins. Its spontaneous recovery occurs mostly during the first years of life with the decreasing of the specific IgE and the clinical tolerance to cow milk proteins.

Two shorts cas reports (3 and 5 patients) have described a clinical form of IgE-mediated cow milk allergy with angio-oedema of hands and feet. This clinical form is associated with more increasing of specific IgE against lactoserum proteins than caseine's. However it has been showed that casein is a marker of cow milk allergy persistence. It might be possible that this atypical form of cow milk allergy progresses favorably towards a restoration of tolerance earlier than the clinical form without angio-oedema of the extremities

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	kinetics of specific IgE	kinetic is defined by dosage of specific IgE (cow milk, caseine, whey proteins) from diagnostic from control to 7 months after	at inclusion
Secondary	comparison of specific IgE kinetics between case and control patient	Respective evolution of the kinetics of specific IgE directed against whey proteins and casein between T0 and T1	at inclusion
Secondary	Clinical characteristics of allergic reaction	description of cow milk allergy : associated clinical signs, kinetics of appearance of clinical signs, kinetics of disappearance, treatment undertaken	at inclusion
Secondary	Clinical characteristics of patients	description of another allergy	at inclusion
Secondary	Age of clinical tolerance	age of clinical tolerance is defined by age of food reintroduction at home or at hospital	at inclusion
