| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most frequently diagnosed food allergy in infancy. In general, patients have a good prognosis because the majority acquire tolerance within the first years. Interventions have been proposed to accelerate tolerance and reduce morbidity. Probiotic supplementation could be effective through modulation of the immune system. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether supplementation with a combination of probiotics (Lactobacillus casei CRL431 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12) accelerates tolerance to cow's milk (CM) in infants with CMA. METHODS: We performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 119 infants with CMA. Infants received CRL431 and Bb-12 supplemented to their standard treatment of extensively hydrolyzed formula for 12 months. Primary outcome was clinical tolerance to CM at 6 and 12 months of treatment. Furthermore, we analyzed T- and B-lymphocyte subsets (CD3(+), CD3(+)CD4(+), CD3(+)CD8(+), and CD20(+)) in peripheral blood at randomization and at 12 months with flow cytometry and examined the presence of viable probiotic strains in fecal samples. RESULTS: The cumulative percentage of tolerance to CM at 6 and 12 months was similar in both groups: 56 (77%) in the probiotics group versus 54 (81%) in the placebo group. Infants in the placebo group had higher percentages of CD3(+) and CD3(+)CD4(+) lymphocytes compared with those seen in probiotic-treated infants. Probiotic intake was confirmed because probiotics were isolated from feces more often in treated infants than in the placebo group. CONCLUSION: Supplementation of CRL431 and Bb-12 to extensively hydrolyzed formula does not accelerate CM tolerance in infants with CMA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
