title: [Comparison of specific IgE levels versus various milk proteins in 76 eczematous children].
abstract: Among 76 eczematous children, we realized a RAST test for whole milk and milk specific proteins: lactalbumin, lactoglobulin and casein. One of these RAST tests, at least, was positive for 27 children. Whole milk RAST test is the most frequently positive (77%) but some non specific reactions seem to interfere: only three children are clinically milk sensitive. Among specific proteins, lactalbumin is more frequently positive (59%) than lactoglobulin (51%) and casein (18%). Eczematous children with positive milk RAST tests, if compared to other eczematous children, have currently more mite allergies and positive egg RAST tests. They have a tendency (non significative) to be more frequently breast fed. The positivity of milk RAST tests seems to belong to a polysensitization and infrequently concerns a clinical allergy.
