Can Faecal Eosinophil Cationic Protein and β-Defensin-2 Levels Be Useful in the Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Infants with Milk-Protein-Induced Allergic Proctocolitis?
fECP and HBD2 can be used to monitor the resolution of colitis in infants with MPIAP treated with a milk diet, indicating a slower resolution of allergic inflammation than the resolution of allergic symptoms. Therefore, neither of the parameters are useful for the diagnosis of MPIAP.
