Abstract

There is a need for guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of cow’s milk allergy (CMA) / food allergy (FA) in infants [1]. Purpose. To establish guidelines for the management of infants with CMA/FA. A group of general paediatricians, paediatric nutritionists and allergists analysed a survey [1] which demonstrated the need for guidelines on the management of CMA /FA in infants. General recommendations for the management of CMA/FA by primary care paediatricians (PCP) were proposed. The diagnosis of CMA/FA among PCPs needs to focus on the clinical history and allergen-specific s-IgE. An elimination diet should be prescribed, in the case of CMA an eHF, followed by symptomatic improvement. When tolerance is proven after accidental ingestion or by formal challenge, an unrestricted diet should be instituted. There should be close cooperation with local allergy specialists regarding referrals.
