Vaccine-induced Anaphylaxis in a Child with Cow's Milk Allergy: Lactose Hydrate Was the Culprit

Abstract

Lactose hydrate was the cause of vaccine-induced anaphylaxis in a child with severe milk allergy. Although the amount of milk protein in lactose-containing vaccines is extremely small, physicians administering such a vaccine must be prepared for the potential risk of severe milk allergy.
