title: [Intolerance to cow's milk protein. A complication of acute gastroenteritis (author's transl)].
abstract: Eight cases of acute gastroenteritis, two caused by enteropathogenic "E. coli", with secondary cow's milk protein intolerance were studied. Diagnosis was established clinically and by means of intestinal biopsy, before and after a milk challenge. The role of acute gastroenteritis as a trigger of cow's milk protein intolerance and other factors contributing to the appearance of that complication are discussed. The mechanisms leading to intractable diarrhoea in a situation of prolonged gastroenteritis are also commented.
