Infant formulas containing partially hydrolyzed cow milk-proteins are used for the prevention of allergy when maternal milk is not available, and, in preterm infants, also for improving gastric emptying. The nutritional adequacy of such formulas has not yet been completely defined. As the type of feeding may influence the antibody response to immunization, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibody response to oral polio virus immunization in term infants and to acellular pertussis and hepatitis B immunization in preterm infants, exclusively fed a partially hydrolyzed cow-milk formula during the first 5 months of life, in comparison with exclusively breast-fed infants. Active immune response occurred in all the infants after the second dose of immunization and no significant difference in the antibody titres was found according to the type of milk. On the basis of these results, it seems that protein nutrition based exclusively on a partially hydrolyzed formula does not impair the response to immunization in both preterm and term infants.
