Keywords: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome; FPIES; Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine EN Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome FPIES Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine 1 4 4 01/05/22 20220101 NES 220101 ACKNOWLEDGMENT We thank all patients who participated in this study. A recent report has demonstrated that serum levels of TARC elevate after oral food challenge (OFC) in two patients with FPIES, suggesting that serum TARC levels are potential biomarker of the disease.3 We defined TARC ratio as the ratio of post-OFC to pre-OFC TARC levels. To validate the utility of TARC in the diagnosis of FPIES, we examined TARC ratio in a larger number of patients with FPIES. In contrast to OFC-positive patients, TARC levels showed no changes in any OFC-negative patients who finally achieved tolerances of solid FPIES.
