Clinical presentation and referral characteristics of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in the United Kingdom.

CONCLUSION: In the United Kingdom, FPIES typically has its onset at 8 months. Patients experience a delay of 12 months in the diagnosis of FPIES and frequently have multiple episodes and interim diagnoses. A great need remains for enhanced education of medical practitioners dealing with children about the varied presentations of FPIES. PMID: 25065570 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
