“…Analysis of the relevance of IgA levels and other immunoglobulins to the development allergic disorders must take into consideration the possibility that these disorders may be multifaclorial in origin (Kaufman, 1972) and mechanisms, including genetic control of immunoglobulin production, environmental factors and complicating disorders such as infection in atopic dermatitis. In our patients, no significant depression of any immunoglobulin class was found.…”

“…Alopic dermatitis was found much more frequently when both rather than one parent had some type of allergy. A significantly greater incidence of positive skin tests has been reported in infants with a bilateral family history (Kaufman. 1972) (see Table 2).…”

Serum immunogiobulins were determined every 4 months from cord blood to age 2 years in ninety-two infants ofallergic parents. By 7 months of age, the concentration of IgA was significantly greater in infants who developed atopic dermatitis than those who did not. The IgA was also significantly greater than in matched non-allergic controls. The dilTerence continued to the end of the 2-year study. No significant difference was found in the three groups for levels of IgG and IgM. These findings dilTer from the results of a previous report and possible explanations are presented.
