ABSTRACT
Summary

Objective:

To evaluate the wheal diameter in allergy skin-prick tests (SPT) with cow’s milk extract (CM) comparing tolerant and persistent patients.

Method:

A retrospective cohort study involving database analysis of children with diagnosis of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) mediated by immunoglobulin E in a specialized outpatient clinic that regularly performed SPT between January 2000 and July 2015. Patients were allocated into two groups tolerant or persistent. Comparisons were made at diagnosis and over time between tolerant and persistent patients using Fisher’s, Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon tests and significance level at 5%.

Results:

After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the sample includes 44 patients (29 tolerant and 15 who persisted with CMPA). In the tolerant group, the medians of SPT were 6 mm at diagnosis and 2 mm at the development of tolerance; a significant difference (p<0.0001) was found. In the persistent group, the median SPT at diagnosis was 7 mm, while in the last SPT it was 5 mm, with no statistical difference (p=0.173). The comparison of medians in the last SPT between groups was significant (p=0.001), with a reduction greater than 50% in SPT in the tolerant group.

Conclusion:

Serial SPTs were useful for diagnosis, and a decrease higher than 50% in diameter can indicate the moment to perform oral food challenge (OFC) tests, helping to detect tolerance in CMPA.
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

avaliar o diâmetro da pápula do teste cutâneo alérgico (TCA) com extrato de leite de vaca (LV) comparando pacientes tolerantes e persistentes.

Método:

estudo de coorte retrospectivo de análise de banco de dados de crianças com diagnóstico de alergia à proteína do leite de vaca (APLV) mediada pela imunoglobulina E, em ambulatório especializado, que realizaram TCA de forma evolutiva, sendo alocados em dois grupos tolerantes ou persistentes, entre janeiro de 2000 e julho de 2015. As comparações foram realizadas ao diagnóstico e evolutivamente entre tolerantes e persistentes, pelos testes de Fisher, Mann-Whitney ou Wilcoxon, utilizando níveis de significância de 5%.

Resultados:

aplicando critérios de inclusão e exclusão, a amostra incluiu 44 pacientes (29 tolerantes e 15 que persistiram com APLV). No grupo tolerante, as medianas do TCA foram ao diagnóstico, de 6 mm, e, no desenvolvimento de tolerância, de 2 mm, com diferença significante (p<0,0001). No grupo persistente, a mediana do TCA ao diagnóstico foi de 7 mm e no momento do último TCA, de 5 mm, sem diferença estatística (p=0,173). A comparação das medianas no último TCA entre os grupos mostrou-se significante (p=0,001), com redução maior de 50% no valor do TCA no grupo tolerante.

Conclusão:

os TCA seriados foram úteis para o diagnóstico, e a redução maior que 50% em seu diâmetro pode indicar o momento para realização de testes de provocação oral (TPO), auxiliando na detecção de tolerância na APLV.
