Overview
The exact prevalence of allergic colitis is unknown. Prevalence of food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) has been reported to range from a low of 16% to a high of 64% among infants with rectal bleeding. FPIAP is the most common cause of non-infectious colitis in infancy. Allergic colitis is mainly a disease of infants, with onset usually in the first two to three months of life. There is a slight male predominance (50–61.6%) for allergic colitis.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence and Incidence
The exact prevalence and incidence of allergic colitis is unknown.
- Prevalence of food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) has been reported to range from a low of 16% to a high of 64% among infants with rectal bleeding[1][2][3]
- A population based study reported a prevalence of 1.6 in 1000 children under 1 year had cow's-milk protein induced rectal bleeding[4]
- The incidence of milk FPIES was estimated as 0.34% of the newborn population in a population based study[4]
- 60% of infants with FPIAP are babies on exclusive breastfeeding[1][5]
- FPIAP is the most common cause of non-infectious colitis in infancy[6]
Age
Allergic colitis is mainly a disease of infants, with onset usually in the first 2-3 months of life. An adolescent form may develop in adolescence or early adulthood.[1][2][3][7]
Gender
There is a slight male predominance (50–61.6%) for allergic colitis.[8][9]
Race
There is no racial predilection for allergic colitis.
