TI  - Cow's milk allergy in multiple sclerosis patients.
PG  - S62-5
AB  - BACKGROUND: Exposure to some environmental agent such as different nutrition and 
      contact with allergens may have a role in developing multiple sclerosis (MS). The 
      present study was aimed to evaluate the cow's milk allergy (CMA) in MS patients 
      compared to healthy controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2012 and July 
      2012, 48 MS patients were selected and compared with 48 healthy subjectsto assess 
      the frequency of CMA in MS patients compared to healthy control. Cow's milk 
      specific immunoglobin E (IgE) was determined by Immuno CAP. Sex and the frequency 
      of CMA were compared between study groups by Chi-square test. RESULTS: Total of 
      96 subjects were assessed (22% male and 78% female). The mean age of the study 
      subjects was 30.8 +/- 6.6 years. Mean age of case and control groups was 30.7 
      (+/-6.9) versus 30.9 +/- 6.3, respectively (P value = 0.83). There were no detection 
      of cow's milk specific IgE in serum of MS patients and healthy subjects. 
      CONCLUSION: There was no difference between MS and healthy subjects regarding 
      CMA.
