12 ALLERGY PREVENTION IN CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS (AD)

The effects of 4 feeding regimes on the development of atopic disease and sensitization against cow's milk proteins were compared in a prospective study of 522 children with a 2 year follow-up. Healthy newborns were assigned to 4 groups: (Br)Exclusively breast fed;(Br+HA)Breastfed and hypoallergenic formula;(Br+CM)Breastfed and cow's milk;(CM)Cow's milk. Serological investigations included IgG-,IgA- and IgE-antibodies against 4 CM-proteins interpreted by a geometrical mean titer (gmt)(Burgin-Wolff, Eur J Ped 1980:133).
