Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the link between maternal immune responses during pregnancy and the occurrence of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants.
  • Researchers measured levels of key immune markers (IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-10) in healthy pregnant women during their second and third trimesters and surveyed CMPA in their infants within a year after birth.
  • Results indicated a CMPA detection rate of 4.68%, with those affected showing higher rates of maternal food allergies and lower breastfeeding rates, and a significant association between lower maternal levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ and CMPA risk in infants.
