Food Allergy in Infancy and Childhood

Since the beginning of the century when HAMBURGER, SCHLOSS- MANN, and MORO first described food allergy in infants being fed with cow's milk, this topic has been the subject of very con- troversial discussions among pediatricians. The dispute is illus- trated by markedly fluctuating incidence figures, ranging from denial of the disease to incidence rates up to one in ten infants.
