ABSTRACT

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and cow’s milk allergy (CMA) are two different diseases with many common clinical and evolutive features. The authors analyze a lot of 110 infants hospitalized for the clinical suspicion of GERD (45 cases) or CMA (65 cases). The results emphasize the risk of the concomitant evolution of CMA and GER.
