Cow milk protein allergy presenting as feeding intolerance and eosinophilia: case reports of three preterm neonates.

Three preterm infants with cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) presented with feeding intolerance, sepsis-like episodes and persistent moderate-to-severe eosinophilia. After eliminating cow milk, the clinical symptoms improved significantly. CMPA can cause common manifestations in sick preterm infants such as feeding intolerance and eosinophilia.

Phenobarbital-induced severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions are associated with CYP2C19*2 in Thai children.

Background: Aromatic anticonvulsant-induced severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN), and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), are fatal immune-mediated adverse drug reactions. CYP2C19, a cytochrome P450 isoform, plays a role in metabolic rate of aromatic anticonvulsant. HLA-B*1502 has also been demonstrated to be associated with carbamazepine-induced SJS-TEN.
