Objectives To investigate whether the development of tolerance to cow's mills (CM) by aged 4 years can be predicted with a skin prick test (SPT) and measurements of total or specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the serum, taken at the time of diagnosis of cow's mills hypersensitivity (CMH).Study design Infants with immediate (n = 95) or delayed (n = 67) challenge reactions to CM were prospectively followed to aged 4 years. CMH status was assessed annually by CM challenges.Results By aged 2, 3, and 4 years, children with delayed reactions developed tolerance to CM faster than those with immediate reactions: 64%, 92%, and 96% versus 31%, 53%, and 63%, respectively. A wheal size of = 5 mm in SPT correctly identified 71% of 39 infants with persistent CMH. Milk-specific IgE
