RESUMEN
La incidencia de alergia alimentaria (AA) en niños es del 2-8%. Más del 90% de las AA en los lactantes son causados por leche de vaca (LV), huevo de gallina, soya, maní, nueces, trigo, pescado y mariscos. Existen algunos factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de AA. El impacto de la LM sobre el desarrollo de las alergias es controversial. Hay un 0.21% de APLV neonatal. La introducción antes del 4 mes de vida de más de 4 alimentos está asociada con un mayor riesgo de dermatitis atópica. La prueba de provocación oral a los alimentos es una herramienta valiosa en el diagnóstico inicial y el manejo de las reacciones adversas a los alimentos. Los síntomas sugestivos de APLV pueden ser encontrados en cerca del 5-15% de los niños. La hipersensibilidad mediada por IgE a la proteína de la LV, es predominantemente una enfermedad del período del lactante.
ABSTRACT
The incidence of food allergy (FA) in children of 2-8%. Over 90% of FA in infants are caused by cow's milk (CM), chicken egg, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, fish and seafood. There are some risk factors for the development of FA. The impact of breastfeeding on the development of allergies is controversial. There is a 0.21% of neonatal CMPA. The introduction before 4 months of life of more than 4 foods is associated with an increased risk of atopic dermatitis. The oral challenge test to food is a valuable tool in the initial diagnosis and management of adverse reactions to food. Symptoms suggestive of CMPA can be found in about 5-15% of children. The IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to the protein in the CM, is predominantly a disease of the infant period.
