Heiner Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Introduction
Heiner syndrome (HS), also known as cow’s milk-induced pulmonary hemosiderosis or milk-induced pulmonary disease, is a rare non-IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity disorder that primarily affects infants and young children. First described by Dr. Douglas C. Heiner in 1962, the syndrome is characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms, pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiography, iron deficiency anemia, failure to thrive, and the resolution of symptoms following elimination of cow’s milk from the diet. Unlike classic IgE-mediated food allergies, Heiner syndrome involves a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by immune complex formation and cellular mechanisms.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Historical Background
The syndrome was first reported by Heiner and Sears in 1960, who identified chronic respiratory disease associated with multiple circulating precipitins (antibodies) to cow’s milk in seven children aged 6 weeks to 17 months. The original description established the core features of the syndrome: chronic respiratory disease with maximal severity coinciding with the introduction of raw cow’s milk, accompanied by iron deficiency anemia, gastrointestinal symptoms, poor growth, and pulmonary hemosiderosis. This landmark observation established Heiner syndrome as a distinct clinical entity within the spectrum of food-induced pulmonary diseases.[2][7][8]
Epidemiology and Prevalence
Heiner syndrome is an extremely rare disorder, with a prevalence estimated at less than 1 per 1,000,000 individuals. Since the original description, only a limited number of cases have been reported in the medical literature—comprehensive reviews have identified approximately 61 patients with documented Heiner syndrome worldwide. The true incidence remains difficult to establish due to likely underdiagnosis, misdiagnosis as chronic respiratory infections, and lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. Approximately 5% of infants with cow’s milk protein allergy may develop pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of Heiner syndrome.[9][3][4][5][10][2]
The condition affects both males and females without apparent gender predilection and has been reported across diverse ethnic backgrounds and geographic regions.[6][2]
Etiology and Pathophysiology
Triggering Antigens
While cow’s milk proteins are the most commonly implicated triggers, Heiner syndrome can occasionally result from hypersensitivity to other food proteins including soy, egg, pork, wheat, peanut, and buckwheat. The syndrome typically develops in formula-fed infants following prolonged exposure to cow’s milk, though cases have been reported in exclusively breastfed infants, suggesting that even trace amounts of milk proteins transferred through breast milk can trigger symptoms in highly sensitized individuals.[3][11][12][2]
Immunological Mechanisms
The precise pathogenesis of Heiner syndrome remains incompletely understood, but evidence supports a complex immune-mediated process involving both humoral and cellular components:[5][2][3]
Type III Hypersensitivity (Immune Complex Formation):
The primary mechanism is believed to be a Gell and Coombs type III hypersensitivity reaction involving the formation of immune complexes. Precipitating antibodies (predominantly IgG) to cow’s milk proteins form circulating immune complexes that deposit in pulmonary tissue, activating complement cascades and triggering inflammatory responses. Immunofluorescence studies of lung biopsies have demonstrated deposits of IgG, C3 complement, fibrin, and milk protein antigens scattered throughout the alveolar walls.[1][2][5][6]
Type IV Hypersensitivity (Cell-Mediated Immunity):
A cell-mediated component (type IV hypersensitivity) has also been implicated, with studies demonstrating delayed skin test responses to intradermal milk antigens and positive lymphocyte proliferation assays in affected patients. One study documented significant increases in histamine and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid following milk challenge, supporting an inflammatory T-cell mediated pathogenesis.[13][2][6]
Precipitating Antibodies:
High titers of precipitating IgG antibodies to multiple cow’s milk protein fractions have been detected in many, but not all, patients using Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion techniques. However, these antibodies are not pathognomonic for the disease—they have been found in approximately 1% of healthy children and 4-6% of children with other chronic disorders including celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, and Down syndrome. The pathogenic role of these precipitins remains unclear, and their detection using outdated laboratory methods limits their diagnostic utility.[2][5][6][13]
Recent studies have identified elevated cow’s milk-specific IgG4 antibodies in some cases, though the significance of this finding requires further investigation.[11][5][2]
Clinical Features
The clinical presentation of Heiner syndrome is heterogeneous and nonspecific, often leading to delayed diagnosis.[14][9][2]
Age at Onset
Clinical onset typically occurs between 1 month and 48 months of age, with most cases presenting in the first year of life. However, the syndrome can develop as early as 5 days of age in neonates and has been reported in children up to 5 years old. A frequent diagnostic delay occurs due to the varied clinical presentations and lack of awareness of this rare entity.[10][9][3][6][2]
Respiratory Manifestations
Respiratory symptoms constitute the hallmark of Heiner syndrome and include:[9][14][6][1][2]
- Chronic or recurrent cough: Present in the majority of patients
- Wheezing and dyspnea: Mimicking asthma or bronchiolitis
- Tachypnea and respiratory distress: Especially during acute exacerbations
- Hemoptysis: Episodic bleeding from the lungs, ranging from blood-tinged sputum to massive hemorrhage[14][1]
- Recurrent pneumonia: Refractory to antibiotic therapy, a key diagnostic clue[15][5][9]
- Chronic rhinitis and nasal congestion: Upper respiratory symptoms in approximately one-third of cases[6][2]
- Recurrent otitis media: Documented in multiple case series[2][6]
The distinctive feature of the respiratory symptoms is their persistence despite appropriate antibiotic treatment, suggesting a non-infectious etiology.[15][5][9][2]
Hematological Abnormalities
- Iron deficiency anemia: Present in up to 90% of cases, often severe (hemoglobin levels as low as 3.8 g/dL have been reported)[5][15][14][6][2]
- Microcytic, hypochromic anemia: Resulting from chronic pulmonary blood loss[16][15][14]
- Eosinophilia: Peripheral eosinophilia detected in approximately 50-60% of patients[16][5][6][2]
- Thrombocytosis: Reactive elevation in platelet count[15]
- Elevated inflammatory markers: High C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)[12][2][15]
Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Gastrointestinal manifestations occur in approximately 50% of cases and include:[17][18][9][6][2]
- Chronic or recurrent diarrhea
- Vomiting and gastroesophageal reflux
- Abdominal pain and colic
- Hematochezia (bloody stools)[18][17][10]
- Poor feeding and anorexia
Rarely, severe gastrointestinal bleeding can be the presenting symptom, leading to misdiagnosis when respiratory symptoms are less prominent.[17][18]
Growth and Nutritional Status
- Failure to thrive (FTT): Documented in approximately 40-80% of cases, with progressive weight loss and growth faltering[19][20][9][6][2][15]
- Hypoproteinemia: Protein-losing enteropathy in some patients[15]
Systemic Features
- Recurrent fever: Present in about 50% of cases, often leading to repeated courses of antibiotics[6][2]
- Lymphadenopathy: Generalized or localized lymph node enlargement[2][6]
- Hepatosplenomegaly: Enlargement of liver and spleen in a subset of patients[6][2]
- Adenoidal and tonsillar hypertrophy: Upper airway obstruction in severe cases[2][6]
Pulmonary Hemosiderosis
Approximately 40-50% of patients with Heiner syndrome develop pulmonary hemosiderosis (PH), characterized by recurrent episodes of alveolar hemorrhage, accumulation of hemosiderin-laden macrophages in the lungs, and progressive pulmonary fibrosis if untreated. Pulmonary hemosiderosis represents a severe complication that can lead to chronic lung damage, pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, and respiratory failure.[21][22][14][5][6][2]
Rare Complications
In cases of prolonged, unrecognized disease, severe complications can develop:[6][2]
- Crescentic glomerulonephritis with rapidly progressive renal failure[2]
- Severe cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure secondary to profound anemia[15][2]
- Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale[2]
- Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with massive hemoptysis and hematemesis[23][1]
Diagnostic Evaluation
Clinical Suspicion
Diagnosis should be suspected in any infant or young child presenting with the following constellation of findings:[19][14][5][2]
- Chronic or recurrent respiratory symptoms unresponsive to antibiotics
- Pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiography
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Failure to thrive
- History of cow’s milk consumption
Radiological Findings
Chest Radiography:
Variable patchy, fleeting, or persistent infiltrates that shift location over time and are unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Additional findings include areas of consolidation, atelectasis, reticular opacities, pleural thickening, and hilar lymphadenopathy.[14][5][15][6][2]
Computed Tomography (CT):
High-resolution CT may reveal bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities, patchy consolidations, and interstitial thickening.[24][21][1]
Laboratory Investigations
Complete Blood Count:
- Microcytic, hypochromic anemia with low hemoglobin
- Peripheral eosinophilia (in 50-60% of cases)
- Normal or elevated white blood cell count
- Reactive thrombocytosis[5][16][14][15][2]
Iron Studies:
Inflammatory Markers:
Immunological Tests:
- Precipitating antibodies to cow’s milk proteins: Historically detected using Ouchterlony technique; however, these tests are outdated and not pathognomonic[5][6][2]
- Cow’s milk-specific IgE: Typically negative or low, distinguishing Heiner syndrome from IgE-mediated milk allergy[5][6][2]
- Total serum IgE: May be normal or elevated[6][2]
- Cow’s milk-specific IgG or IgG4: Elevated in some patients using modern immunoenzymatic assays[11][5][2]
Autoantibody Screen:
To exclude other causes of pulmonary hemorrhage:[21][14][5]
- Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies: Negative (rules out Goodpasture syndrome)
- Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA): Negative (rules out vasculitis)
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA): Negative (rules out systemic lupus erythematosus)
Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL)
BAL is a critical diagnostic procedure in suspected pulmonary hemosiderosis:[21][14][15][5]
- Visualization of diffuse blood in the tracheobronchial tree
- Demonstration of hemosiderin-laden macrophages using Prussian blue staining
- Increased red blood cells and inflammatory cells
- Exclusion of infectious etiologies through cultures[14][15][5]
Hemosiderin-laden macrophages can also be identified in morning gastric aspirates, though BAL is more sensitive.[6][2]
Lung Biopsy
Rarely performed due to its invasive nature, but when obtained, histopathology reveals:[25][5][2][6]
- Alveolar hemorrhage with hemosiderin deposition
- Interstitial fibrosis in chronic cases
- Immunofluorescence may show deposits of immunoglobulins, complement, and milk antigens
Proposed Diagnostic Criteria
In 2021, Arasi et al. proposed the first structured diagnostic approach for Heiner syndrome based on a comprehensive review of the literature:[3][2]
Diagnostic Criteria:
- (A) Pulmonary symptoms with radiological infiltrates OR pulmonary hemosiderosis
- (B) Resolution of symptoms after strict cow’s milk elimination
- (C) Recurrence of symptoms after cow’s milk reintroduction
Diagnostic Classification:
- Probable Heiner syndrome: Criteria A + B
- Convincing Heiner syndrome: Criteria A + B + C
According to this classification system applied to 61 reported cases, only 6 patients had convincing clinical diagnosis based on documented milk rechallenge, 25 had probable diagnosis, and the remainder had insufficient evidence.[3][2]
Laboratory parameters including precipitating antibodies were deliberately excluded from the diagnostic criteria due to heterogeneity in testing methodologies and lack of specificity.[3][2]
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of Heiner syndrome is broad and includes multiple conditions that can present with pulmonary infiltrates, anemia, and respiratory symptoms:[26][21][14][5][2]
Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis (IPH)
IPH represents the primary differential diagnosis and is distinguished from Heiner syndrome by the following features:[27][22][28][26][21][2]
| Feature | Heiner Syndrome | Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis |
| Age at onset | Infants and young children | Older children and adults |
| Pulmonary hemosiderosis | Common (40-50%) | Always present |
| Gastrointestinal symptoms | Frequent (~50%) | Rare |
| Precipitating antibodies to milk | Present in many cases | Absent |
| Response to milk elimination | Rapid improvement | No response |
| Prognosis | Generally favorable | Variable, often poor |
IPH is a diagnosis of exclusion that presents with the classic triad of hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia, and pulmonary infiltrates, but lacks an identifiable trigger and has a more severe, progressive course.[29][28][26][27][2]
Goodpasture Syndrome
An autoimmune disorder characterized by anti-GBM antibodies causing pulmonary hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis. Distinguished by positive anti-GBM antibodies, renal involvement with hematuria and proteinuria, and lack of response to dietary modification.[30][21][14][5]
Lane-Hamilton Syndrome
The association of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis with celiac disease, also known as Lane-Hamilton syndrome (LHS), should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Lane-Hamilton syndrome affects both children and adults, presents with the triad of hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia, and pulmonary infiltrates, and is distinguished by positive celiac serologies (anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies) and duodenal biopsy showing villous atrophy. Treatment requires both immunosuppression and strict gluten-free diet.[31][32][33][34][26][30][21]
Other Conditions to Consider
- Cystic fibrosis: Excluded by normal sweat chloride testing[26][5][2]
- Chronic pulmonary infections: Including tuberculosis and fungal infections; excluded by negative cultures and tuberculin testing[5][2]
- Bronchial asthma: Does not explain the hemorrhagic component or severe anemia[2]
- Systemic vasculitides: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s), microscopic polyangiitis[26][21]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus: Positive ANA and other autoantibodies[21][5]
- Foreign body aspiration: Excluded by bronchoscopy[5][2]
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: Different exposure history and BAL findings[5][2]
- Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: Positive Aspergillus skin testing and specific antibodies[2][5]
- Chronic aspiration: Excluded by swallow studies[12][5]
- Primary immunodeficiency syndromes: Require comprehensive immune evaluation[5]
Treatment and Management
The cornerstone of Heiner syndrome management is strict elimination of the triggering food antigen, most commonly cow’s milk proteins.[19][3][6][2][5]
Dietary Intervention
Primary Treatment:
Complete and immediate elimination of all cow’s milk proteins from the infant’s diet is essential. Acceptable milk substitutes include:[35][19][12][3][2][5]
- Extensively hydrolyzed protein formulas (eHF): Casein or whey-based formulas with proteins hydrolyzed into small peptides
- Amino acid-based formulas (AAF): Elemental formulas containing only free amino acids, recommended for severe cases[35][12]
- Soy-based formulas: May be used if tolerance is confirmed, though caution is advised as soy can occasionally trigger similar reactions[6][2]
- Continued breastfeeding: For breastfed infants, mothers should follow a strict dairy-free diet[36][37][2]
Response to Treatment:
Clinical improvement typically occurs within 5-21 days of complete milk elimination, with resolution of respiratory symptoms, normalization of inflammatory markers, and improvement in anemia. Radiological clearing of pulmonary infiltrates generally follows within several weeks.[3][6][2][5]
Pharmacological Treatment
Acute Phase Management:
- Systemic corticosteroids: Short courses of oral prednisone or intravenous methylprednisolone (1-2 mg/kg/day) are often used for acute severe presentations, particularly those with significant respiratory distress, pulmonary hemorrhage, or failure to thrive[38][24][25][19][12][14][2]
- Bronchodilators: For symptomatic relief of wheezing and bronchospasm[2]
- Oxygen supplementation: For hypoxemia during acute episodes[14]
- Blood transfusion: For severe, symptomatic anemia[14][5]
Immunosuppressive Therapy:
For refractory cases or those with severe complications, additional immunomodulatory agents may be necessary:[19][2]
- Hydroxychloroquine
- Azathioprine
- Cyclophosphamide (reserved for life-threatening cases)
- Mycophenolate mofetil
Note: Antibiotic therapy is characteristically ineffective as the underlying process is immunologic rather than infectious.[5][2]
Supportive Care
- Iron supplementation: To correct iron deficiency anemia[19][15][14]
- Nutritional support: To address failure to thrive and malnutrition[9][19]
- Cardiac support: For congestive heart failure secondary to severe anemia[15]
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Regular monitoring is essential and should include:[26][19][2]
- Serial chest radiographs to document resolution of infiltrates
- Complete blood counts to monitor anemia and inflammatory markers
- Growth parameters (weight, height, head circumference)
- Assessment of dietary adherence
- Periodic evaluation for tolerance development
Prognosis and Natural History
Short-Term Outcome
The prognosis for Heiner syndrome is generally favorable when the diagnosis is made early and appropriate dietary elimination is implemented:[3][19][2][5]
- Rapid clinical improvement within days to weeks of milk elimination[3][6][2][5]
- Complete radiological resolution within weeks to months[2][5]
- Normalization of anemia and inflammatory markers over several weeks[5][2]
- Restoration of normal growth velocity[9][19]
Long-Term Outcome
Most children outgrow the hypersensitivity to cow’s milk within a few years, typically by 2-5 years of age. Studies have shown that:[10][3][6][2]
- Some children develop tolerance to heat-treated (boiled or evaporated) milk while remaining reactive to raw milk[6][2]
- Spontaneous resolution can occur even without dietary restriction in rare cases[2]
- Progressive tolerance allows gradual reintroduction following a systematic “milk ladder” protocol after 6-12 months of avoidance[39][36][10]
Milk Reintroduction
Reintroduction of cow’s milk should be approached cautiously:[36][10][2]
- Typically attempted after 12-24 months of strict avoidance in asymptomatic patients[39][36][2]
- Should follow a graded, stepwise protocol starting with extensively heated milk products[36][39]
- Performed under medical supervision, ideally as a structured oral food challenge[10][2]
- Recurrence of symptoms has been documented upon rechallenge, necessitating continued avoidance[10][6][2]
Confirmatory challenge was documented in only 6 patients in the literature review, with 3 patients developing recurrence of symptoms.[2]
Complications of Untreated Disease
If Heiner syndrome remains undiagnosed or inadequately treated, serious complications can develop:[19][14][5][2]
- Progressive pulmonary fibrosis leading to chronic respiratory insufficiency[22][19][2]
- Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale[14][2]
- Recurrent life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhage[1][19]
- Chronic malnutrition and growth failure[9][19]
- Rare mortality, particularly in neonatal cases or those with massive pulmonary hemorrhage[1][2]
Mortality rate is estimated at approximately 14% in acute severe presentations with massive hemorrhage, similar to idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis.[32]
Pathological Controversies and Future Directions
Despite over six decades since its original description, Heiner syndrome remains a controversial entity with several unresolved questions:[3][2]
Arguments Supporting the Existence of Heiner Syndrome:
- Consistent multiorgan involvement (pulmonary and gastrointestinal)[2]
- Detection of precipitating antibodies in many cases[5][2]
- Poor response to antibiotics but improvement with anti-inflammatory therapy[2]
- Dramatic clinical improvement following milk elimination[3][5][2]
- Documented recurrence upon milk reintroduction[6][2]
Arguments Questioning the Existence:
- Lack of well-designed case-control studies[2]
- Precipitating antibodies are not pathognomonic and found in healthy controls[5][2]
- Presence of milk antigens in pulmonary infiltrates documented in only one case[2]
- Most cases lack confirmatory oral food challenge[2]
- Possible confounding by concomitant anti-inflammatory medications[2]
Research Priorities:
Future investigations should focus on:[13][3][2]
- Standardized diagnostic criteria: Incorporating validated clinical, radiological, and laboratory parameters
- Biomarker development: Identification of specific, sensitive markers for diagnosis and monitoring
- Mechanistic studies: Elucidation of precise immunopathological mechanisms underlying the syndrome
- Controlled rechallenge studies: Well-designed oral food challenges to establish causality definitively
- Long-term outcome studies: Natural history, development of tolerance, and optimal duration of elimination
- Genetic susceptibility: Investigation of potential genetic predisposition to develop this hypersensitivity
Conclusion
Heiner syndrome is a rare but clinically significant non-IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity disorder characterized by chronic respiratory disease, pulmonary infiltrates, iron deficiency anemia, and failure to thrive in infants and young children exposed to cow’s milk proteins. The pathogenesis involves immune complex formation and cell-mediated hypersensitivity, leading to pulmonary inflammation and, in severe cases, pulmonary hemosiderosis. Diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion in young children with chronic respiratory symptoms unresponsive to antibiotics, particularly when accompanied by anemia and poor growth. The hallmark of diagnosis is dramatic improvement following strict elimination of cow’s milk from the diet. While the prognosis is generally favorable with early recognition and appropriate dietary management, untreated cases can progress to serious complications including chronic pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory failure. Most children outgrow this hypersensitivity within a few years, allowing eventual reintroduction of milk products. Given the rarity of the condition and ongoing controversies regarding diagnostic criteria, increased awareness among clinicians, standardized diagnostic approaches, and further research into the underlying mechanisms are essential to improve recognition and optimize management of this intriguing disorder.
