Our aim was to study the influence of infection with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in non‐hospitalized infants on sensitization to aeroallergens and the early manifestation of atopy. Six hundert and nine infants from the prospective German Multicenter Cohort Study on Atopy were included, 38% of whom had an elevated atopic risk. RSV IgG and IgM antibodies were tested by ELISA with gradient purified RSV antigen. Specific IgE against mites, cat dandruff, birch and grass pollens and relevant nutritional antigens were tested with CAP‐RAST‐FEIA (Pharmacia, Sweden). Of the cord sera 99% were positive for RSV‐IgG, 44. 7% at one year and 64. 2% (n=265) at two years of age. The positivity rate after 12 months varied with the season of birth, the number of siblings and the degree of exposure to tobacco smoke; and correlated closely with attacks of wheezing during infancy. Twenty (2. 8%) children were found to be sensitized against at least one aeroallergen at one year, and 28 (10. 5%) at two years. By the first birthday, mite sensitization (n=3) could only be seen in the RSV‐infected children; grass pollen sensitization (n=9) was associated with RSV seropositivity (logistic regression model including the confounders mentioned above: with RSV IgG p=0.04 > and IgM p=0.0006), as was birch sensitization (n=5) with RSV IgM (p=0.009). No such differences could be detected at two years. No correlation of RSV seropositivity to any allergic manifestation could be found. We conclude, that it is only in the first year of life, that RSV infection plays a significant role in promoting sensitization against aeroallergens, which do not at this time produce allergic symptoms.
