Cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) becoming a major public health issue that has attracted the attention of health professionals and researchers. This paper aimed to review the important aspects of both IgE and IgG types of cow’s milk protein allergy in terms of prevalence, clinical manifestation, risk factors, other health-related issues and nutritional therapy proposed for such allergies in the adult and pediatric population in Saudi Arabia. A search on “cow’s milk allergy” was done using PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus Engine for published papers between 1993 and 2020 to find studies yielding knowledge on that context. The prevalence of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) among infants is now in the range of 2–3%. This type of allergy is also detected in adulthood but less frequently. CMPA is defined as an immunological reaction to specific proteins in milk. CMPA is classified based on its type as an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated form and an immunoglobulin G (IgG)-mediated form, each type representing different immunological pathways. The presence of Genetic aspects, family history and short duration of breastfeeding in the infant are among the risk factors contributing to this form of allergy. Its manifestations mainly present as skin presentation, followed by the gastrointestinal and respiratory presentation in most cases in addition to a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction that may occur in 12% of cases. food allergy committees have developed strict diagnosis criteria, including blood testing for food-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), a skin prick test and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges (DBPCFC) as the gold standard. A diet free of cow’s milk protein (CMP) allergen and including the appropriate alternative milk formula is the first line of prevention recommended by many organizations and food allergy experts. As for Saudi Arabia, more research and clinical trials are required to discuss the various aspects of adult and pediatric CMPA and to provide a better understanding along with good control strategies implementation.

The role and prevalence of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMA) in functional gastrointestinal disorders remains unclear. The aim of this review is to update knowledge on the relationship between CMA and functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) in children. Cochrane Database and Pubmed were searched from inception using general and specific terms for CMA and functional gastrointestinal disorders. CMA is reported as a predisposing or coexisting factor in a wide range of functional gastrointestinal disorders in infants and children. Pathogenesis of both conditions is complex and multiple mechanisms including dysmotility and hypersensitivity might contribute to the clinical manifestations. Data supporting the possible role of food allergies in the pathogenesis of FAPDs are limited. CMA may predispose to early life inflammation and visceral hypersensitivity, which in turn might manifest as FAPDs. The diagnosis of either CMA or FAPDs and distinction between them is challenging because of nonspecific and overlapping symptoms. Lack of accurate allergy tests in non-IgE (immunoglobulin E) mediated cases is also problematic. Oral food challenge, following an elimination diet, should be performed to diagnose a suspected non-IgE CMA allergy in children with FAPDs. In the management of FAPDs, an elimination diet should be considered for a limited period to verify if the symptoms improve or resolve.

Abstract Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy found in children under 3 years of age. In most cases, it occurs in infancy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can decrease the risk of impaired growth. In our study, we evaluated 40 children, with ages between 1 month and 3 years, diagnosed with IgE-mediated or non-IgE-mediated CMPA, from january to december 2017, in the Department of Pediatrics of the Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Constanta. The inclusion criteria consisted of: age, natural or artificial feeding, specific IgE levels, CoMiSS score, and clinical manifestations. The Cow’s Milk-related-Symptom-Score (CoMiSS) was developed as a screening and diagnostic tool for CMPA prediction, and can guide pediatricians and primary care physicians to make an early diagnostic, as it can be easily missed. We observed a higher number of cases of CMPA registered among children who were artificially fed (57,5%), followed by those with mixed nutrition (25%), the remaining (17,5%) being represented by exclusively breastfed infants. The most frequent clinical manifestations were rashes (87,5%), failure to thrive (82,5%), regurgitation (50%) and diarrhea (35%). Further data should be collected to prove if the association between a CoMiSS score higher than 12 and specific IgE-mediated CMPA is clinically relevant, and can predict, based on clinical examination and anamnesis, high serum levels of specific immunoglobulin E. The prognosis can depend on the titre of specific IgE at the time of diagnosis, as they are more likely to develop several crossed allergies and less prone to become tolerant to cow milk proteins than those with non-IgE-mediated CMPA.
