Abstract

Introduction. Experience of amino acid formulas application in eldest children is limited. Background. To estimate efficiency of amino acid formula at children at the age from 1 till 10 years with atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods. 9 AD children with multiple food allergy were included in the study. All patients took amino acid formula «Neocate Advance». The efficiency of diet therapy was estimated with index SCORAD. Results. The average value of index SCORAD decreased AFTER 1 week therapy, Me — 48,5 [44,5; 52,5] to Me — 18,8 [18; 37,5] a point (p=0,008), after 2 weeks — Me — 12,6 [7,8; 13,5] a point (p=0,008). Conclusion. Medical amino acid formula «Neocate Advance» is an effective diet therapy of AD children with multiple food allergy.
