Abstract

Introduction: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is an adverse immunologic reaction that can affect infants, children, and adults.
Objective: The aim of the study was to conduct a review of the management of infants with suspected cow's milk protein allergy.
Methods: This study corresponded to the exploratory level and was based on the systematic review executed through the PRISMA 2020 methodology, in 74 articles (34 from SCOPUS and 40 from Google Scholar), after specifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: It was found that infant management includes various aspects such as feeding, skin care, disease prevention and early stimulation. APLV was found to be an immune-mediated allergic reaction to proteins present in cow's milk and has become one of the most common food allergies worldwide; its treatment is based on complete elimination of cow's milk proteins from the infant's diet and substitution with hydrolyzed or amino acid-based formulas, depending on the severity of the allergy.
Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, the authors propose further research in the line of infants with suspected cow's milk protein allergy that may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, as well as to evaluate its impact on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers.
