Atypical food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in children: Is IgE sensitisation an issue longitudinally?

Background: Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is a clinically well-characterised, non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy syndrome, yet its rare atypical presentation remains poorly understood.

Objective: Aim of this study was to present the 10-year experience of a referral centre highlighting the atypical FPIES cases and their long-term outcome.

Methods: FPIES cases were prospectively evaluated longitudinally in respect of food outgrowth and developing other allergic diseases with or without concomitant IgE sensitisation.

A Salmonella abortusovis inactivated vaccine protects mice from abortion after challenge.

Two types of Salmonella abortusovis vaccines were prepared, one with aluminium hydroxide (vaccine A) and the other with water in oil (vaccine B) adjuvants. They were compared in a pregnant mouse model, aiming at protecting them from abortions after challenge with a virulent strain of S. abortusovis.

Preparation of a high titre Salmonella abortusovis H-antigen and antiserum and improvement of the microagglutination test.

Serological diagnosis of small ruminant abortions due to Salmonella abortusovis (S.a.o) was improved by using modified procedures to produce high titre H-antigens and anti-H serum.
