Acute‐on‐chronic food protein‐induced enterocolitis syndrome in an exclusively breast‐fed infant

Food protein‐induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non‐IgE‐mediated gastrointestinal food hypersensitivity disorder, typically provoked by cow's milk or soy in formula‐fed infants. This case shows that diagnosis of FPIES should be suspected in exclusively breast‐fed infants and pediatricians should be suspicious of this in infants with shock and sepsis.
