DIAGNOSTIC PREDICTORS OF TOLERANCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ELIMINATION DIET IN CHILDREN WITH COW'S MILK PROTEIN ALLERGY

Background. Cow's milk protein allergy is a topical issue in pediatrics. This disease affects 2-3% of young children. Methods. The study included 30 children with a confirmed cow’s milk protein allergy and a prescribed milk elimination diet. The children were observed for 36 months. The molecular profile was evaluated by detecting the major components of milk (Bos d 8, Bos d 5, Bos d 4), minor (Bos d 6), and cross-reactive with serum albumin (Fel d 2, Can f 3). Results. The study group included 46.7% of boys. The mean age of the subjects was 14.5±3.18 months. Nine of the 25 analyzed factors were identified in the course of our work by the method of logistic regression with progressive selection, which in combined action affect the formation of tolerance to cow's milk proteins in allergic children. There are three clinical examples of calculating the prediction of the complete tolerance development in the elimination diet in children with cow's milk protein allergy. Conclusions. Independent predictors that reduce the likelihood of the tolerance development in the elimination diet, have identified: skin test to milk, Bos d 8, Bos d 5, Bos d 4, Bos d 6. Independent predictors of the tolerance development in the elimination diet are: milk-specific IgE, total IgE, Fel d 2, Can f 3. Low probability of tolerance development by elimination therapy is a recommendation for prescribing treatment to a patient by specific oral tolerance induction.

Relevance. Dairy-free diet is the basis of cow’s milk allergy (CMA) patient’s management. Duration of the diet is individual, but some children don’t develop tolerance.The aim of the study was to investigate health and growth indices in children with CMA depending on tolerance development by the age of five. Materials and methods. 153 children from 1 to 18 months with diagnosed CMA were included in the prospective study (76.5% with IgE-mediated form). The tolerance was determined after 6–12 months of a milk-free diet and at the age of 5 using an open challenge test. Anthropometry indices (Anthro Plus), levels of specific IgE (Immuno CAP 250) and IgG4 (ELISA) to dietary proteins and the presence of allergic diseases in children also were assessed.Results. 50.3% of children developed tolerance to cow’s milk protein after 6–12 months of a milk-free diet. By the age of 5 63.3% of patients had complete tolerance of dairy products. Partially formed tolerance was observed in 22.9%. 13.8% of patients still had clinical reactions to cow’s milk proteins. Patients with persistent CMA typically had IgE-mediated form, lower growth indices and multiple allergic pathology.Conclusion. The consideration of tolerance development predictors can allow to personalize the management of CMA. Additional researches are needed to clarify the causes of growth indices decline in children with persistent CMA.

Different Sources

Immunological estimating of different diet therapy types became currently very important. The aim of this work was to study the changes of immunological biomarkers during usage of formulas based on different sources of protein in children with food allergy and to assess and predict the effectiveness of diet therapy. The study included 66 children with food allergy in age from 1,5 months to 1,5 years. Observed children were divided into three groups depending on the type of formulas used. The dynamics of immunoregulatory substances (IL-5, TGF β 1, IL-10, IL-4, IL-2, IL-13, Eotaxin3), and allergenspecific IgE and IgG antibodies to cow’s milk protein, α-lactoglobulin, β-laktoglobulin, casein, soy and goat’s milk during diet therapy were evaluated. Observation duration was 28-30 days. The differences in the dynamics of the investigated parameters depending on the type of formula were revealed. Thus, the use of formula based on cow’s milk hydrolysates revealed their primarily effect on cytokines IL-2, IL-5 and growth factor TGF β ; the use of formula based on soy protein revealed combined effect on humoral immunity (allergen specific IgE and IgG antibodies) and IL-5; the use of formula based on goat milk characterized decreased levels of allergenspecific IgG antibodies to the cow’s milk protein and its fractions, reduced allergen specific IgE antibody concentrations to cow’s milk protein and α-lactoglobulin, decreased levels of IL-5, and, exclusive for this formula - reduction of IL-4 level. Accordingly, the assessment of immunological biomarkers can be used to personalize diet therapy in children with food allergy.
