Background:
Cow's milk is one of the most common of the foods that cause food allergies in children. Here, we present a 10-month-old male who was diagnosed with having an allergy to cow's milk and who developed an anaphylactic reaction after being recently vaccinated with a measles vaccine.

After an allergy evaluation and a physical examination that showed that he was otherwise healthy, he was diagnosed with an allergy to cow's milk, which was then eliminated from his diet. Laboratory evaluations were as follows: serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) to cow's milk: 36.2 kU/L, α-lactalbumin: 9.39 kU/L, β-lactoglobulin: 8.74 kU/L, casein: 34.2 kU/L, latex-specific (sp)IgE: 0.10 kU/L, gelatin spIgE: <0.35 kU/L (normal levels <0.35 kU/L; Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden). Results revealed lactalbumin hydrolysate as one...Continue Reading
