Data about maternal factors during pregnancy and early sensitization to food allergens are limited. Aim: To determine the prevalence of food sensitization in children under 6 months of age and to determine relationship between maternal avoidance of allergenic foods, maternal disease, use of antibiotic, tobacco smoke during pregnancy and early sensitization to food allergens.

متن کاملEarly life Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) values as a predictor of food allergy and sensitisation at 2 years: results from the BASELINE Study
Rationale Food Allergy is a growing public health concern. There is observational evidence that exposure to food allergens across a disrupted skin barrier can lead to food sensitisation (FS) and food allergy (FA). This mechanism of action has subsequently been proven in murine studies. We sought to ascertain whether a non invasive measurement of skin barrier function at 3 time points in early i...
متن کاملExposure to environmental tobacco smoke and sensitisation in children.
BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) increases the risk of respiratory illness in children but data are inconclusive regarding the risk of IgE sensitisation.
