A nationwide survey of non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies in neonates and infants

Background: Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies (non-IgE-GIFAs) seem to be increasing rapidly worldwide. However, nationwide studies have been limited to food-protein-induced enterocolitis (FPIES) and food-protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), with little attention to other no...

description Background: Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies (non-IgE-GIFAs) seem to be increasing rapidly worldwide. However, nationwide studies have been limited to food-protein-induced enterocolitis (FPIES) and food-protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), with little attention to other non-IgE-GIFA subgroups. The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical features of all patients with non-IgE-GIFAs, not just certain subgroups. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional survey of non-IgE-GIFAs in Japan from April 2015 through March 2016. A questionnaire was sent to hospitals and clinics throughout Japan. The questionnaire asked about the number of physician-diagnosed non-IgE-GIFA patients, the status of fulfillment of the diagnostic criteria, tentative classification into 4 clusters based on the initial symptoms, the day of onset after birth, complications, and the suspected offending food(s). Results: The response rate to that questionnaire was 67.6% from hospitals and 47.4% from clinics. Analyses were conducted about “diagnosis-probable” patient cohort (n = 402) and the “diagnosis-confirmed” patients (n = 80). In half of the reported non-IgE-GIFA patients, onset occurred in the neonatal period. The patients were evenly distributed among 4 non-IgE-GIFA clusters. In Cluster 1, with symptoms of vomiting and bloody stool, the onset showed a median of 7 days after birth, which was the earliest among the clusters. Cow's milk was the most common causative food. Conclusions: In half of the patients, the onset of non-IgE-GIFAs was in the neonatal period. This highlights the importance of studying the pathogenesis in the fetal and neonatal periods.
