Abstract

We report on the follow-up of 22 infants allergic to cow's milk proteins who did not tolerate extensively hydrolyzed protein formulas. After successful use of an amino acid-based diet for a duration of 11.8 +/- 8.7 months, evolution differed according to the presence or absence of associated allergy to other foods. Cow's milk protein tolerance occurred earlier in the patients (n = 9) whose allergy was limited to cow's milk proteins and to extensively hydrolyzed protein formulas.
