Abstract EN
Background.
Various sources of mammalian milk have been tried in CMA.
Objectives.
To determine whether camel milk is safer than goat milk in CMA.
Methods.
Prospective study conducted at Hamad Medical Corporation between April 2007 and April 2010, on children with CMA.
Each child had medical examination, CBC, total IgE, cow milk-specific IgE and SPT.
CMA children were tested against fresh camel and goat milks.
Results.
Of 38 children (median age 21.5 months), 21 (55.3%) presented with urticaria, 17 (39.5%) atopic dermatitis, 10 (26.3%) anaphylaxis.
WBC was 10,039±4,735 cells/μL, eosinophil 1,143±2,213 cells/μL, IgE 694±921 IU/mL, cow's milk-specific-IgE 23.5±35.6 KU/L.
Only 7 children (18.4%) tested positive to camel milk and 24 (63.2%) to goat milk.
6 (15.8%) were positive to camel, goat, and cow milks.
Patients with negative SPT tolerated well camel and goat milks.
Conclusions.
In CMA, SPT indicates low cross-reactivity between camel milk and cow milk, and camel milk is a safer alternative than goat milk.
