    Keywords : Allergy; allergic heredity; childhood; cytokines; IgE-sensitisation; Epstein-Barr virus; interleukin-12; viral infections.;

    Abstract : Background: The etiologic factors behind development of lgE-mediated allergy are incompletely understood although the interaction between allergic heredity and exposure to various environmental factors seems to be most important. Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to study the associations between allergic heredity, environmental factors like viral infections and lgE sensitisation and the development of allergic diseases during childhood.

    Abstract : Background: Within the concept of united airway disease, it is postulated that inflammatory disorders in the upper and lower airways are interrelated and influence each other. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is an established biomarker of type-2 inflammation in the lower airways and is elevated in patients with asthma. READ MORE
