Soy allergy is not common in atopic children: a multicenter study

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of soy allergy (positive skin test and positive challenge test) in a large cohort of atopic children, many of them soy fed early in life for several months. In order to investigate the prevalence of soy allergy, two groups of children were enrolled into the study. The first group comprised a cohort of 505 children with personal history suggestive of food allergy. The second group included 243 children born of atopic parents, who had been soy protein formula fed for the first six months of life for the prevention of cow's milk allergy and who had been prospectively followed up, from birth to 5 years.
