What Is Primary Prevention and Why Does It Matter? Primary allergy prevention refers to inhibiting the development of clinical disease before it occurs1 Prevalence of food allergy (and other allergic diseases) has increased within the past 2 decades2,3 Peanut allergy: US: Prevalence of PA in children <18 y.o. increased from 0.4% in 1997 to 0.8% in 2002 and 1.4% in 20082 UK: Prevalence of PA in children increased from 0.6% to 1.8% over the last2 decades3 Tree nut allergy: US: Prevalence of tree nut allergy in children increased from 0.2% in 1997 to 1.1% in 20082 Food allergy is now considered a public health concern, as the condition is associated with significant morbidity and occasional mortality4 PA=peanut allergy. 1.

What Factors May Help Explain an Increase in Food Allergy Prevalence? Changes in Diet1,2 Vitamin D: An association between low Vitamin D levels and increased risk of FA has been suggested1 Antioxidants: Some data with asthma but none yet with FA1 Obesity: Obesity is associated with an inflammatory state; mostly studied in asthma1 Dietary Fat: Despite the earlier results, recent meta-analysis found no clear evidence to support the use of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids for the primary prevention of atopic allergic disease development or sensitization2 Hygiene Hypothesis3 Lack of exposure to infectious agents and gut flora increases susceptibility to allergic diseases; limited data for FA, except for mild effect of cesarean delivery FA=food allergy. 1.

Acquisition of Tolerance in Non-IgE–Mediated CMPA FPIES Non-IgE−mediated reaction to food Acute gastrointestinal presentation; symptoms include vomitingand diarrhea The most common triggers are cow's milk and soy Large, prospective, population-based study onCMP-induced FPIES 13,019 infants with probable adverse reactions to CMP 44 patients (0.34%) fit FPIES criteria 50% of FPIES patients tolerated milk by age 1 year 75% of FPIES patients tolerated milk by age 18 months 90% of FPIES patients tolerated milk by age 3 years No other robust studies on natural history of tolerance development in non-IgE–mediated milk allergy FPIES=food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome. Katz Y, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2011;127:647-653.
Slide 23-

Can Tolerance to CMP Be Predicted? In the previously mentioned study on the resolution ofIgE-mediated milk allergy by Skripak et al, patients with persistent CMPA had higher IgE levels in the first 2 yearsof life1 The higher the peak IgE level, the lower the chanceof tolerance Presence of asthma and allergic rhinitis predicted delayed development of tolerance Results were similar for egg allergy2,3 1.

Early Exposure to Cow’s Milk Protein Is Protective Against IgE-mediated CMA A prospective study of 13,019 infants by telephone (95.8%) or questionnaire (4.2%) in Israel Infants with probable adverse reactions to milk were examined, skin prick-tested, and orally challenged 0.5% (66) of the infants were diagnosed with IgE-mediated CMA 0.05% of infants started on CMP formula ≤14 days versus 1.75% started on the formula between ages 105-194 days had IgE-mediated CMA (P < .001) The odds ratio was 19.3 (95% CI, 6.0-62.1) for the development of IgE-mediated CMA among infants with late exposure to CMP (15-194 days vs <14 d) (P < .001). CMA=cow’s milk allergy; CMP=cow’s milk protein. Katz Y et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010;126(1):77-82. Overall Study Conclusion: “Supplementation at birth with CMP should be recommended to promote its tolerance. The data should not be interpreted as discouraging breastfeeding.”

Symptoms of Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy Can Mimic GERD in Infants Recent American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines (2013) for the management of gastroesophageal reflux recognize that cow’s milk protein allergy may have a clinical presentation that mimics GERD in infants AAP treatment algorithm (2013) for recurrent regurgitation and weight loss Lightdale JR, et al. Pediatrics. 2013;131(5):e1684-e1695. Algorithm used with permission of American Academy of Pediatrics. Accordingly, AAP recommends the following dietary modifications as afirst-line approach to reflux management: Exclusion of cow’s milk and eggsfrom the diet of mothers whobreast-feed their infants Protein hydrolysate formulain formula-fed infants Thickened feeding
