Effect of prenatal indoor pet exposure on the trajectory of total IgE levels in early childhood
S Havstad, G Wegienka, EM Zoratti, SV Lynch…�- Journal of Allergy and�…, 2011 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: The presence of pets in a home during the prenatal period and during early
infancy has been associated with a lower prevalence of allergic sensitization and total IgE
levels in middle childhood. No studies have examined the effect of pet exposure in a
population-based cohort by using multiple early-life measures of serum total IgE.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine within-individual longitudinal trends in total IgE levels
during early childhood and assess the effect of indoor prenatal pet exposure on those�…
