FEEDING-TYPE–ASSOCIATED DIFFERENCES IN ALLERGIC INFLAMMATION MARKERS IN PRETERM INFANTS: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY FROM BUKHARA

Preterm infants are at increased risk of allergic diseases due to the immaturity of their immune system and intestinal barrier. Early-life nutrition is a key modifiable factor influencing immune development and allergic sensitization. This study aimed to evaluate the association between feeding type and allergic inflammation markers, including total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophil levels, in preterm infants.
