1 Cow s milk protein allergy in children Nicholas Ware UCL Institute of Child Health CPD verifiable Abstract CMPA (Cow s Milk Protein Allergy) is a relatively common condition in infancy that often presents to primary carers with a diverse range of symptoms. Accurate diagnosis, management and engagement with health professionals is essential to optimising outcomes and saving unnecessary expenditure. Cow s milk allergy is the most common cause of death from food related anaphylaxis in children in the United Kingdom; although rare it makes this a significant topic for review and regular re-evaluation. A number of specific algorithms are available to assist general practitioners and paediatricians with this process. Management is usually based on dietary elimination, dietetic support and symptom management. A referral to Hospital services should be made if a diagnosis is in doubt, or if symptoms are severe or poorly controlled.

Cow s milk protein (CMP) antigens are also secreted into the breast milk of lactating mothers who ingest cow s milk. Cow s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is defined as an adverse immunological response to CMP and may involve the skin, the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory system or produce systemic responses. 1,2 Large birth cohorts have been employed to estimate 2-3% of formula fed and 0.5% of purely breast fed infants develop symptoms from adverse reactions to CMP. 3 Other studies suggest higher incidences of 5-15%, the wide range of these estimates reflecting differing diagnostic criteria. 1 Disparity has been identified between parental perceptions of allergy and accurate diagnosis: as a result it is reported that children may be placed on inappropriate and nutritionally incomplete restriction diets. 4 The majority of CMPA patients will present initially to primary care and so it is important that general practitioners and health visitors are well equipped to diagnose and manage CMPA effectively. Adverse reactions to foods are can be divided into immune-mediated reactions (food allergy) and non-immune-mediated reactions (food intolerance) such as lactose intolerance. Allergic responses may be divided into IgE-mediated reactions (type I hypersensitivity, typically of rapid onset) and non-ige-mediated reactions (type IV hypersensitivity with delayed onset). 1,2 Allergic responses are outlined initially in this review. Immune-mediated reactions to cow s milk (cow s milk protein allergy) IgE-mediated food allergy affects between 3% and 6% of children in the developed world with egg allergy and CMPA is the most prevalent. 1 The exact mechanisms of sensitisation to milk are not fully understood but it is thought that it may occur during fetal life through 70 Copyright 2012 Rila Publications Ltd.

2 maternal CMP ingestion that transfers across the placenta. 1 CMPA can present early in life before the ingestion of CMP therefore. Once CMPA is established in some patients, allergic reactions can be induced by ingestion or alternative routes of exposure including skin contact (such as by kissing) or inhalation of CMP in cooking vapour. 1 IgE-mediated CMP-induced allergic reactions usually occur rapidly following exposure; they display a range of severity. Mild reactions may present with urticaria and angioedema whilst severe reactions can include anaphylaxis with associated cardiovascular collapse. 1 Cow s milk allergy is the most common cause of death from food related anaphylaxis in children in the United Kingdom. 5 CMP can also cause a range of non-ige mediated reactions. These include a number of CMPA syndromes many of which may overlap and include CMP-induced proctocolitis, allergic dysmotility, CMP-induced enteropathy, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, allergic eosinophilic gastroenteropathies and CMP-sensitive eczema (Box 1). 1,2 Non-IgE-mediated CMPA usually presents hours after ingestion and therefore can be more difficult to diagnose. 2,3 Clinical features CMPA presents with a wide variety of clinical manifestations from relatively mild to severe or lifethreatening: no symptoms are pathognomonic. Symptoms usually start in the first month of life or within a week of introducing cow s milk formula. 3 In the majority of cases more than one body system is affected, the most frequent being the skin (50-70%), gastrointestinal tract (50-60%), and respiratory system (20-30%). 3 Cutaneous manifestations include atopic dermatitis (Box 2), angioedema (swelling of the lips or eyelids) and urticaria. 1 3 With urticaria it is important to exclude other causes such as other acute infections or drug reactions. Gastrointestinal manifestations include reflux, vomiting diarrhoea, abdominal pain and colic, constipation (with or without perianal excoriation) and blood in the stools. 1,6,7 Rarely CMPA can present with the symptoms and signs of anaemia without any other gastrointestinal symptoms. If left untreated CMPA can lead to growth faltering and failure to thrive due to poor intestinal absorption of nutrients and food aversion. 1,2,6,7 Respiratory manifestations include rhinoconjunctivitis, chronic cough and wheeze. 1 In severe cases anaphylaxis can occur presenting with acute lip and tongue swelling, stridor and respiratory or cardiovascular collapse. This is obviously a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate treatment. How is it diagnosed? A diagnosis of CMPA commences with a detailed history (Box 2) and thorough physical examination. The gold standard for diagnosis is double blind placebo controlled elimination and challenge testing, however this is often not feasible and open testing is frequently Box 1: Common infant presentations of cow s milk allergy. 1,2,6 11 Atopic eczema NICE recommends that any patient with atopic dermatitis who has suffered a previous reaction to foods or has moderate or severe disease despite optimum treatment may merit a diagnosis of food allergy. Gastro-oesophageal reflux There is a well recognised association between gastrooesophageal reflux and CMPA. A trial of CMP elimination should be considered in infants with other features of atopy who do not respond to optimum reflux treatment. Infant colic Two systematic reviews suggest that hypoallergenic formulas may reduce the symptoms of infant colic. However given the risks associated with cow s milk exclusion the significance of this is uncertain, the cost in terms of feed and input from families is great and evidence for how to wean in this situation is thin. Other gastrointestinal symptoms/syndromes CMPA should be considered in all infants with acute and chronic gastrointestinal problems including proctitis, dietary protein enteropathy and enterocolitis, and eosinophilic gastroenteropathy. The exact relationship between CMPA and constipation is controversial. Full descriptions of syndromes are given in the references. 1,6,7,11 used. 12,13 In infants that are exclusively breast-fed, cow s milk must be completely eliminated from the mother s diet. After elimination the diagnosis may be confirmed with a challenge. Challenge should be performed with adequate supervision. For patients with suspected IgE mediated reactions NICE advises against the use of oral food challenges for suspected IgE mediated allergy within the community. 14 In children who have a history of severe reactions or who have specific IgE positive blood test results, challenge should to be done in hospital with adequate resuscitation support available. 2 In children with a history compatible with type I hypersensitivity, specific CMP IgE testing in the circulation (also known as RAST testing) or referral for skin prick testing should be considered. The higher the result, or the larger the wheal the more likely a patient Box 2: Collecting an optimal History: (adapted from). 1,2,14 What is the suspected allergen? Formula vs Breast milk fed?

3 has IgE mediated allergy, though does not indicate the severity. 1 Although negative results largely excludes IgE-mediated CMPA (negative predictive value >95%), they do not exclude non-ige-mediated CMPA and so consideration of the type of allergic reaction is important when interpreting the test results. 2,6,7,13,15 Significantly atopic eczema is frequently non-ige mediated. Patch testing is not currently advised. 1,2,12 A child with severe symptoms or uncertain diagnosis should be referred for specialist evaluation (General Paediatric/ Paediatric Allergy/ Paediatric Gastroenterology/ Dermatology as appropriate). Vandenplas et al have proposed European algorithms for the diagnosis and management of CMPA depending on whether infants are exclusively breast-fed or formula-fed and can help in selecting appropriate investigation pathways. 12 In addition NICE guidelines provide more general guidelines and workflows for food allergies in children and young people. 14 Why might this diagnosis be missed? Diagnosing CMPA can be difficult as the symptoms and signs may mimic other common clinical conditions such as gastroenteritis or eczema. Compliance with suggested treatments is also notoriously challenging. In a large prospective birth cohort study involving 2138 families looking at CMPA and egg allergy, more than a third of children with confirmed allergies had not had the causative agent eliminated from their diets children were perceived by their parents to have a food allergy yet only 54% of them had discussed it with their general practitioner. 4 In cases where parents had initiated an elimination diet for their children without the advice of a doctor, a fifth was inappropriate. 4 As highlighted above CMPA can have severe acute and chronic consequences. Accurate diagnosis and treatment is therefore essential to optimise outcome in children with CMPA or parentallyperceived CMPA. Failure to do this can cause families to resort to their own inappropriate treatments or to seek non-validated tests from other paramedical practitioners. 2 Management The key to management of CMPA is the elimination of CMP from the diet. In breast fed infants this includes CMP elimination from mother s diet and must include all dairy products. The requirement for complete CMP avoidance depends on the nature of the individual child s allergy. While the majority of IgE and non-ige-mediated allergic children will require complete elimination, a proportion may tolerate extensively-heated formula milks where the CMP protein is altered by the high temperature used and no longer causes an allergic reaction. Similarly some breast fed infants will not require complete maternal elimination diets as the level of CMP secreted in the breast milk is of no consequence to the infant. If a maternal elimination diet is required it is important to consider the nutritional needs of the infant and the mother, as the mother (particularly with respect to her calcium intake) is often forgotten in this process. In infants feeding on formula milk a hypoallergenic formula should be used. There are a number of different hypoallergenic formula milks available of which Extensively hydrolysed formulas (EHFs) are the predominant used. Over 90% of CMPA infants will tolerate an EHF whilst between 2% and 10% with IgE-mediated disease continue to react to EHF due to the small amount of milk proteins that still remain. 16 These infants will require amino acid formulas (AAFs) that are composed of free amino acids and are considered to be completely non-allergenic. The choice of a suitable hypoallergenic formula will also be dependent on any comorbidities and the palatability of the formula to an individual infant. Other mammalian, soy or rice milk formulas are not recommended due their high antigenic crossover and anaphylactic reactions have been described in CMPA infants using such milks. 1 Goats milk is also thought to be nutritionally deficient so in the UK it is advised that this should not be used in any child under one year of age. There have been recent concerns on the possible effects of the phyoestrogen content in soya milk, so current recommendations are that soy should only be used for infants over six months of age. 1 Symptoms from CMPA should be also managed accordingly with either topical or systemic treatments (such as emollients and antihistamines) as appropriate. Patients at risk of anaphylaxis need to be given adrenaline pens and extensive education on when and how to use them. 17 In the case of allergic eosiniphilic gastroenteropathies, dietary elimination may be insufficient and other pharmacological treatments required, including antihistamines, steroids, sodium chromoglycate and leukotriene receptor antagonists. Adequate dietetic support is important in the management of CMPA. All hypoallergenic formulas are fortified with vitamins and minerals but many infants will not consume adequate amounts to meet their nutritional requirements and there are often issues with taste. Breastfed infants over six months of age and CMPA infants having less than 500mls of formula per day need to be prescribed a vitamin supplement that contains vitamin D. Whilst most hypoallergenic formulas contain calcium, infants taking low levels of formula without any dairy products may also require calcium supplementation. Elimination diets that are initiated without the advice of an appropriate healthcare professional can cause significant morbidity to the child and the mother through inadequate intake of important nutrients, in extreme cases inappropriate elimination diets has been reported to lead to rickets. 18 Prognosis Both IgE and non-ige-mediated CMPA often resolve during childhood as tolerance develops. Large birth cohort 72 Copyright 2012 Rila Publications Ltd. Clinical Focus Primary Care 2012, 6 (2): 70 75
4 studies have shown on follow-up that CMPA usually resolves within the first few years of life, with 60-75% of patients becoming tolerant by two years of age and 84-87% by three years of age. 3 Allergy is more likely to persist in those with IgE-mediated allergy, as are the development of further atopic diseases such as asthma. 3 Regular challenge to determine the development of tolerance is an important aspect of safe management. This is usually delayed until after the first year. 2 Serial skin prick testing and specific serum IgE levels may be used to help guide timing of re-challenge, and in patients who have had severe reactions and continue to have positive tests remove the need for challenge. Following a negative challenge, a normal diet can be gradually re-introduced. Prevention There has been considerable interest and controversy in studies investigating prevention of the development of CMPA A Cochrane review has found limited evidence supporting the use of EHF in preference to cow s milk formula but did not find any benefit compared to breast milk. 21 Updated guidelines from the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SP-EAAC) also supports exclusive breast feeding or the use of extensively hydrolysed formula milks, as well as complete avoidance of solids that contain CMP for the first four to six months of life to reduce the incidence of CMPA developing in high risk infants, (such as those who have a first degree relative with formally diagnosed atopy). 22 This reinforces the current general advice of exclusive breast feeding for the first six months of live. Lactose intolerance: Non-immunemediated sensitivity to cow s milk Lactose intolerance may be mistaken for non-igemediated CMPA by patients, parents and doctors - it is important to distinguish between the two. Lactose is a disaccharide sugar in cow s milk which is broken down by an enzyme lactase in the small intestine. Almost all infants have some lactase activity. Primary lactose intolerance is a genetically inherited inability to process lactose effectively and is more evident in those over six months of life and is more common in those of Afro-Caribbean ethnicity. Far more common is secondary lactose intolerance where lactase expression is lost due to inflammation or structural damage to the intestinal villi (enteropathy). This commonly follows gastroenteritis (particularly rotavirus) and other enteropathies such as coeliac disease. It is usually reversible and effective treatment of the causative condition usually results in a full recovery. There is also a form of congenital lactose intolerance where intestinal lactase is completely absent. This is extremely rare, presenting with faltering growth and persistent diarrhoea, and treatment requires lifelong lactose elimination. Lactose intolerance usually presents with excess flatus, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, explosive diarrhoea, nausea and perianal excoriation. Symptoms are limited to the gastrointestinal tract (in contrast to CMPA which usually affects >1 system). 3 The diagnosis is made by initiating an elimination diet and observing for resolution of symptoms. Assessing stools for reducing sugars and a hydrogen breath test are particularly useful diagnostic tools in older children. However these tests but are frequently positive in those with the condition as infants. 1 Further Reading 1. du Toit G, Meyer R, Shah N, et al. Identifying and managing cow s milk protein allergy.
