We evaluated the cord blood level of specific IgE in newborn having first grade relatives affected by allergic disease. We aimed: a) to look for a significant threshold (if any) of sp. IgE predictive of atopy; b) to verify the clinical reliability of the CAP System by Pharmacia. 9 out of 60 patients with positive family history had sp. IgE > 0.35 KU/L; 7 out of these 9 children were symptomatic to a clinical follow-up at 18 months. Moreover 65% of children with positive history but no sp. IgE and 100% of patients with both a negative history and no sp. IgE were completely free of allergic symptoms in the same period. We conclude that a careful history and cord blood sp. IgE measurement might be of value in early diagnosis of atopy.
