DIET THERAPY PECULIARITIES IN THE EVENT OF SEVERE ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN INFANTS ON ARTIFICIAL FEEDING

Abstract

The purpose of research was to study the efficiency of the highly hydrolyzed adapted formula in artificially fed infants with severe atopic dermatitis. The researchers examined 30 artificially fed children aged from 1 month to 1 year with severe atopic dermatitis. In 56,6% of cases, they noticed an associated skin and gastrointestinal tract allergy. Application of the highly hydrolyzed adapted compound as a part of the complex antiallergic therapy led to a long>term clinical effect in 93,3% of cases. This was achieved by the remission of severe atopic dermatitis and associated gastrointestinal allergy on the 16th day on average from the treatment commencement against the decreased serum levels of general Ige and specific Ige to the к cow's milk proteins and casein. In each case the adequate growth and physical development of infants is ensured.Key words: atopic dermatitis, children, highly hydrolyzed adapted formula.
