Remission patterns of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in a Greek pediatric population
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology Aug 10, 2019
Xepapadaki P, et al. - In this retrospective analysis, researchers analyzed children with acute food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in a Greek pediatric allergy referral center, to assess the incidence, clinical features, and remission patterns of this disease condition in this population. They analyzed data regarding age, sex, type of reaction, the implicated food, and oral food challenge results at baseline and upon reassessment. Cow’s milk (CM) (45.8%), fish (34.7%), rice (9.7%), egg (6.9%), and chicken (2.8%) were the most commonly implicated foods. For those with CM/fish/rice/egg/chicken FPIES, the reported mean age at diagnosis was 7.1/19.3/9.1/18.7/8.7 months, respectively. Findings revealed a low incidence of acute FPIES in this population. The two most common elicitors identified in this study were CM and fish. For FPIES caused by fish, significantly delayed presentation and prolonged remission were reported.
