Abstract:
Parenteral nutrition plays an important role in the early growth and development of preterm infants. Milk protein is the main protein source for enteral nutrition in preterm infants. Although the incidence of cow′s milk protein allergy (CMPA) in preterm infants is relatively low, the symptoms are atypical and easily confused with other diseases, leading to incorrect diagnosis and treatment measures, and seriously affecting the growth, development and prognosis of preterm infants. This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CMPA in premature infants. The onset of CMPA in premature infants was late. Few patients had rectal bleeding, and bile-like vomiting and symptoms similar to necrotizing enterocolitis were more common. The diagnosis is mainly based on the avoidance test. For children diagnosed with CMPA, they should be avoided through the mother′s diet or replaced with deep hydrolyzed formula milk or amino acid formula milk. However, in-depth clinical and basic research is still needed on how to identify CMPA in preterm infants early.
