Background Although considerable efforts have been made to develop diagnostic tools for predicting the outcome of oral food challenges, tests for predicting the outgrowth of food allergies are lacking. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of the wheal size and skin index (SI) (the ratio of an allergen-induced wheal to a histamine-induced wheal diameter) of the skin-prick test based on the outcome of a controlled oral provocation test for cow's milk. Moreover, we assessed whether wheal size and/or SI were useful for predicting the outgrowth of cow's milk allergy (CMA). Methods This study included 135 children with suspected CMA. Eighty-one patients were definitely diagnosed by oral provocation tests for cow's milk, and their wheal diameters, SIs, and cow milk's–specific serum immunoglobulin E concentrations were determined. Results The wheal diameters were significantly larger and the SIs significantly higher in children with positive oral provocation test results than in those with negative test results. We found that 50% of the patients were expected to be able to drink cow's milk by age 5 years. In these patients, the wheal diameters were significantly smaller and the SIs significantly lower at the time of CMA outgrowth than at the time of diagnosis, whereas these values were apt to increase in patients who did not outgrow CMA, with no significant difference. Conclusions The skin-prick test can be used to diagnose CMA and predict CMA outgrowth. A wheal diameter of 8 mm or/and an SI of 1.0 is informative, not only in diagnosing CMA but also in predicting a natural CMA outgrowth.

Background The role of repeated infection in early life in thedevelopment of childhood atopy is still controversy. Fever in thefirst year of life which is frequently associated with infections mightdecrease atopy.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the associationbetween fever in the first year of life and atopy in children.Methods This was an observational clinical epidemiology studyperformed at Puskesmas Garuda, Padasuka, and Babakan Sari,Bandung, from January to March 2006. From 749 children, werandomly chose 150 subjects each from group with and withoutfamily history of atopic disease. Skin prick test and measurementof total serum immunoglobulin (Ig) E were performed on eachchildren. Atopy was defined as the skin prick test result waspositive to >1 allergen. The number of fever episodes in the firstyear of life was based on parents report. The relationship betweenfever and atopy was analyzed using Mantel Haenszel.Results From 284 subjects, atopy was found in 28.2% of children,of which 32.4% with and 23.9% without a family history of atopicdisease. Generally there was no significant association betweenfever and atopy. There was only decreased odds ratio withincreased fever episodes and trend analysis showed this decreasewas significant (P=0.01). The significant association betweenfever and atopy were found only in group without family historyof atopic disease (P=0.03, OR=0.43, CI 95% 0.18;1.01).Conclusion There is a relationship between fever and atopy inchildren without family history of atopic disease.
