Objective: To determine the antigenicity, nutritional adequacy, and growth-promoting efficacy of protein hydrolysate or amino acid-derived formulas in infants with cow milk allergy.Study design: Several protein hydrolysate or amino acid-derived formulas were graded for beta-lactoglobulin content and skin reactivity in 74 atopic children with cow milk allergy proved by a double-blind, placebo-controlled challenge, A randomized, prospective follow-up study of 9 months included 22 infants with a mean age of 6 months (95% confidence interval, 4 to 7), who were fed an extensively hydrolyzed whey formula (group W-e), and 23 infants with a mean age of 7 (95% confidence interval, 4 to 7) months, who were given an amino acid-derived formula (group AA),Results: Both formulas were clinically and biochemically tolerated, The mean concentration of essential amino acids in plasma was lower in group W-e but higher in group AA compared with values for breast-fed control infants (a = 0.001), There was a different trend between the groups in weight (p = 0.09) and length (p = 0.006), Growth was promoted in group AA during the follow-up; it was constant during the first months, followed by a gradual decline in rate in group W-e, In both groups, atopic eczema improved significantly and progressively, and a downward trend was found in serum total and milk-specific IgE concentrations, proving the efficacy of both formulas,Conclusions: Extensively hydrolyzed formulas are safe and effective for most infants; an amino acid-derived formula may be preferable for infants with multiple food allergies, especially for the maintenance of normal growth.
