Abstract

Objective: Cow's milk allergy is the most frequent food allergy in childhood. Delayed diagnosis may cause a number of systemic dysfunctions, while incorrect diagnosis may result in deficient nutrition of the mother and the child. As in other types of allergies, food allergy is also a growing problem in recent years. Our aim was to determine the characteristics of our patients allergic to cow's milk, and see if there was an increasing trend.
