Abstract

Nadir görülen immünglobulin-E aracılı olmayan bir gıda aşırı duyarlılığı olan besin proteini ile ilişkili enterokolit sendromu, aşırı kusma, ishal ve akut dehidratasyon ile karakterizedir. Spesifik bir laboratuvar bulgusu yoktur, ancak lökositoz, metabolik asidoz ve nadiren methemoglobinemi görülebilir. Birincil tedavi, alerjik reaksiyona neden olan gıdanın ortadan kaldırılmasını içerir. Burada methemoglobineminin eşlik ettiği akut besin proteini ile ilişkili enterokolit sendromu tanısı konulan 45 günlük bir kız infant olgusu sunulmuştur.
