Abstract: | Multiple food intolerance in infants and young children is increasingly diagnosed. More than 40% of infants less than 1 y.o. could be affected. The syndrome is characterized by the seriousness of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD > 50), by enterocolitis or failure to thrive or various associations of symptoms that may change over time. The evolution is long-lasting. Common food allergens are milk, egg, soy, wheat, but other ones can be implicated. The diagnosis is established by standardized oral challenges. Multiple etiopathogenic factors are involved: atopy, gastro-enteritis induced intestinal hyperpermeability, precocity of food diversification, breast-feeding continued after the onset of symptoms. Amino-acid based formulas have changed the evolution. |
