Biomarker evaluation observes gastrointestinal inflammation in solid food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, highlighting surrogate markers for inconclusive oral food challenge tests.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome caused by solid foods (Solid-FPIES) is a non-immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic disease characterized by delayed gastrointestinal symptoms. An oral food challenge (OFC) test, although necessary, can be inconclusive in cases with mild symptoms. Moreover, limited diagnostic marker availability highlights the need for novel surrogate markers. We aimed to examine the efficacy of fecal hemoglobin (FHb), lactoferrin (FLf), and calprotectin (FCp) over time in evaluating gastrointestinal inflammation degree in Solid-FPIES.
