CLINICAL AND LABORATORY ASPECTS OF DETECTING SPECIFIC IgE ANTIBODIES TO COW’S MILK AND ITS COMPONENTS
Food allergy against cow milk and its components is highly prevalent among infants and children of pre-school and young school age being a sufficient factor influencing health condition of children during the maturation period. Clinical signs of the milk allergy are non-specific, and they may be pro...

Food allergy against cow milk and its components is highly prevalent among infants and children of pre-school and young school age being a sufficient factor influencing health condition of children during the maturation period. Clinical signs of the milk allergy are non-specific, and they may be pronounced or expressed in mild form, thus enabling hypodiagnistics of this disorder. Moreover, a variety of milk antigens determines different clinical course of this allergic condition and brings additional difficulties to its diagnostics and treatment. Meanwhile, a sensibilization for the cow milk proteins may sometimes trigger a generalized atopy and bronchial asthma, being a factor delayed growth and other health disorders. At the present time, there are no distinct risk criteria for milk allergy. Therefore, its successful prophylaxis and treatment largely depends on the competence of clinical allergologist and informativity of the diagnostic techniques used. So far, however, we have no generally approved laboratory algorithms for diagnostics and monitoring of treatment efficiency in the cow milk allergy and its compomemts.We have performed a laboratory study of 187 children at the age of 3 months to 10 years. An immunochemoluminescent assay of specific IgE antibody levels to the cow milk using IMMULITE 2000/XPi analyzer has revealed its good informative value at different approaches to prediction and evaluation of food allergy treatment, both oriented for a critical cutoff value of 3 МU/L, and by monitoring a decrease in antibody levels.
