title: [Eosinophilic cationic protein levels in feces and serum in children with food allergies].
abstract: The authors measured the serum and copro eosinophil cationic protein levels before and after the food challenge. Twenty children with food allergy and 20 controls were investigated. Under 6 years the oral food provocation test prepared a simplier way above 6 years double blind-placebo-controlled-food-challenge was made. The authors measured the serum and copro eosinophil cationic protein levels by Pharmacia CAP system. The faeces was prepared based on Kolmannskog method. The value of serum was 12.6 +/- 7.7 (mean +/- SD), while the values of faeces was 93.96 +/- 47.5 (micrograms/l). The serum level of control's was 7.72 +/- 5.2 (mean +/- SD) and than in the faeces the level was 13.78 +/- 8.97 (micrograms/l), 19 food allergic children's eosinophil cationic protein level significantly increased after challenge while then serum level did not change. It can be concluded that follow up of food allergic reaction can be regarded as a more exact with measure of the copro eosinophil cationic protein.
