Background. To investigate the content of breast milk a-lactalbumin in urine of infants and the intestinal bio- cenosis for estimation of permeability of the intestinal barrier and the development of food allergies. Materials and methods. 61 breast-fed infants aged 7 to 10 days, 33 boys and 28 girls were included in the study. They level of urinary excretion of a-lactalbumin of breast milk in the urine by elisa with a modification as well as the intestinal microflora by a bacteriological method were determined. Results. it was established, that excretion rate of breast milk a-lactalbumin in the urine of infants varied in a wide range of values from traces quantities to 300,0 ng/ml. depending on the content of a-lactalbumin in the urine infants were divided into 2 groups: first (n=52) with low levels of excretion of a-lactalbumin ranging from trace values (
