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...
