ROLE OF FETAL VIRUS INFECTIONS IN SHAPING ATOPIC STATUS IN NEWBORN INFANTS
Abstract
The article describes data from research into the role of fetal virus infections in shaping atopic status in newborn infants subject to the degree of newborn maturation and hereditary taint for allergic diseases. The study of 159 babies during first month of their life showed that erythema toxicum in newborn infants, allergic eruptions, skin dryness and hyperemia are found reliably more frequently in newborn infants with confirmed fetal infection, especially in the combination with tainted medical history of past allergies. By the end of first month, the groups of children with fetal infection have a significantly increased immunoglobulin E in blood serum.
