Expression patterns of atopic eczema and respiratory illnesses in a high-risk birth cohort

Anne Marie Singh et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010 Feb.

Abstract

Increased severity of respiratory illnesses, RSV wheezing and early allergic sensitization were significant risk factors for atopic eczema disease persistence. These children represent a distinct phenotype of AE.

Longitudinal assessment of wheezing and allergic sensitization. For the three AE groups, separate graphs depict the prevalence of wheezing illnesses (A), RSV-specific wheezing illnesses (B), and age-specific changes in any positive FEIA (C, ≥ 0.35 kU/L for food or aeroallergen,) annually from birth to age 6 years. *p< 0.05 healthy/transient vs. early recurrent, ‡p<0.05 early/recurrent vs. late onset.
