Non-Ige-Mediated Cow's Milk Protein Allergy Presenting with Generalized Edema: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy in young children. A 40-day-old boy on regular formula presented with generalized edema and chronic watery diarrhea since birth. Laboratory data revealed serum albumin at 0.9 g/dL, and urine analysis did not reveal proteinuria. Echocardiogram was normal. CMPA was diagnosed based on history and rapid response to amino-acid-based infant formula (Neocate®). At the infant’s last follow-up examination at 24 months, he was thriving on a regular diet, with normal growth.
