The aim of the present study was to reevaluate the prenatal production of specific IgE for eggs and milk and, in those cases, to determine whether there is a relation to the amount of maternal egg and milk intake. Total and specific IgEs from 160 cord blood samples were determined by immunoassays using a paramagnetic particle solid phase and an enzyme-mediated chemiluminescent reaction for signal detection. The levels of cord blood IgE for total, egg, and milk were 0.63 ± (SD) 1.10 IU/ml, 0.020 ± 0.055, and 0.036 ± 0.053 IU/ml, respectively. IgE levels specific to egg and milk over 0.03 IU/ ml were observed in 33 and 70 out of 160 cases, respectively. To address whether the maternal intake of eggs and milk affects the level of cord blood IgEs, all mothers except 9 were interviewed, and the amount of eggs and milk taken during pregnancy was recorded. No correlation was seen between egg and milk intakes and cord blood IgE levels. Our data demonstrate a high incidence of the prenatal production of specific IgE for eggs and milk which is independent of maternal egg and milk intakes.

“…With age, rhinitis symptoms tend to become milder (252,275,721) and simultaneously the allergic skin reactivity decreases in the elderly (1039). Some studies found an increased prevalence of allergic rhinitis in young adults (1040)(1041)(1042)(1043)(1044)(1045)(1046).…”
