Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome in preterm newborns

Food-protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES)was notrecognized as a specific disorder until the 1970s(1). While the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Guidelines addressed FPIES in 2014(2),it was only in 2017 that the first international consensus guidelines foritsdiagnosis and treatment werepublished (3). Acute FPIES usually presents with repetitive vomiting, diarrhea associated with pallor, lethargy, dehydration, hypotension and even shock in most severe cases.
