Allergen sensitization and exposure to irritants in infancy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There has been a world-wide increase in the prevalence of atopic diseases. These atopic diseases, including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and atopic eczema/dermatitis, are common in childhood and create a challenge of management for physicians and parents. METHODS:MEDLINE was searched for articles re...
