Cow's milk allergy, or cow's milk protein allergy, is a recognized problem in some infants' first year of life. Cow’s milk protein allergy is the most common food allergy and a common condition encountered in children with incidence estimated as 2 to 7.5% in the first year of life.1 Diagnosis is suspected on history alone, with laboratory evaluations playing a supporting role. Assessing the underlying immunopathology can aid in determining prognosis.
