[Atopic dermatitis in infants. Its relation to breast feeding and cow's milk feeding].

After analysing the literature on the more probable causes of atopic dermatitis in early childhood the authors report herein their study on 2 groups of infants: 3 breast-fed and 3 cow's milk-fed since their first days of life. In all groups an increase of IgA, IgM, IgE ha been reported. While we can easily explain the antigens passing with cow's milk, in breast-fed infants che passing cow's antigens might have occurred in fetal time, causing in this way the first sensibilization. The detrimental antigen-dose, might have then passed through breast-feeding.
