Background and objectives
The development of childhood asthma is associated with neonatal colonization with pathogenic bacteria in hypopharynx. Furthermore, established asthma is associated with systemic low‐grade inflammation. We here report on the association between neonatal colonization with pathogenic bacteria in hypopharynx and the development of systemic low‐grade inflammation.
Methods
Bacterial...
Background
Systemic low‐grade inflammation has been demonstrated in a range of the frequent noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) proposing a shared mechanism, but is largely unexplored in relation to allergic sensitization. We therefore aimed to investigate the possible association with childhood allergic sensitization.
Methods
High‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), IL‐6,...
BackgroundWe recently demonstrated a dual effect of breastfeeding with increased risk of eczema and decreased risk of wheezing in early childhood by increasing breastfeeding length. We hypothesize that immune mediators in breast milk could explain such association either through a direct effect or as a surrogate marker of maternal immune constitution.
ObjectiveTo investigate the possible association...
BackgroundSiblings have been shown to reduce the risk of childhood asthma and allergy, but the mechanism driving this association is unknown. The objective was to study whether siblings affect the airway immune response in healthy neonates, which could represent an underlying immune modulatory pathway.
MethodsWe measured 20 immune mediators related to the Type 1, Type 2, Type 17, or regulatory immune...
RationaleAllergen exposure is associated with the development of allergic sensitization in childhood as reflected by global variations in sensitization patterns. However, there is little evidence to support a direct association.
ObjectivesTo investigate the association between perinatal aeroallergen exposure and sensitization and rhinitis to such allergens later in childhood.
MethodsAllergic sensitization...
