Children born into allergic families, with 2 allergic parents, are at high risk of developing allergy within the first 5 yr of life. To observe possible external factors in the sensitization process, a prospective study of 13 such children was done, where serial clinical and immunologic observations were made at 3-6 mo. intervals over 1-4 yr. The children (11) are now clinically allergic; 5 have asthma. Immunologic evidence for allergic sensitization was observed in the 11 children by RAST [radioallergosorbent test], antigen-induced leukocyte histamine release, lymphoblastogenesis and rise in serum Ig[immunoglobulin]E. Upper respiratory infections (URI) occurred in the 11 allergic children 1-2 mo. prior to the onset of allergic sensitization. In 10 of the 11 URI children, complement-fixing antibodies to viruses (parainfluenza, RSV [respiratory syncytial virus], CMV [cytomegalic inclusion virus]) increased in the same blood samples where immunologic allergic sensitization was first evidenced. Certain viruses may contribute to the allergic sensitization process.
