[New concept : The milk ladder, the climb to tolerance in non-IgE-mediated cow's milk protein allergy].

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the leading cause of food allergy in young children. Despite the spontaneous acquisition of tolerance in the majority of cases at school age, the impact of CMPA on the quality of life of the child and his/her family is clearly more deleterious than in other food allergies. The milk scale, a form of oral immunotherapy, accelerates the acquisition of tolerance such as to curb this negative impact, through a process of gradually reintroducing milk into the diet of the allergic patient. We propose here a French-speaking Belgian version of the milk scale for children with mild to moderate non-IgE-mediated CMPA.
