Evolution of total IgE ( ) and CM-specific IgE ( ). IgE levels were measured on D19, D26, and D31. Predicted IgE kinetics are indicated as a black bold line. Extrapolated IgE kinetics are shown as grey lines (median in bold, 5 and 95% CI as normal lines). With only two values available, calculations were not performed for specific IgE.

Erythema and a pustular rash of the face as well as a "gloves and socks-" type skin rash were noted at 18 days of age, leading to the finding of very high concentrations of total IgE (1298 kIU/L) and IgE specific to cow's milk (CM) (83 kAU/L, Phadia) (Figure 1). Seven days later, total IgE fell to 121 kIU/L and specific IgE to 1.44 kAU/L, and total IgE returned to within the normal range (10.5 kIU/L) (Figure 1) five days later.
