Abstract
The paper discusses the case of a 25-day-old baby presenting with dystrophic appearance
and lethargic behaviour. This clinical presentation immediately suggested the suspect
of an initial systemic infection. The overall negative laboratory findings together
with a detailed anamnesis, which highlighted a history of poor growth, suggested the
hypothesis of chronic conditions, specifically a moderate form of malnutrition. The baby
was fed with high quantities of formula milk to restore an adequate amount of daily
calories. However, this kind of alimentation caused a worsening of her symptoms that
led to the diagnosis of FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome).
