Role of Inhalant and Food Allergens in Child Sensitization: A Prospective Study in 176 Children
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Genetics and Gene Therapy - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The origin of atopic disease is poly factorial and the development of atopic manifestations appears to be linked to interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Such data seem to focus attention on the rising prevalence rates of atopic dermatitis, a common debilitating skin condition in infants and young children. They also often have asthma and/or allergic rhinitis.
