The current authors examined whether mite and cat allergen bacterial endotoxin levels in dust of the mothers' mattresses were associated with cord blood immunoglobulin (Ig)E (CB-IgE) newborns. Data from 1,332 term normal weight neonates, an ongoing birth cohort study, influences life-style related factors on immune system development allergies childhood (LISA), complete information exposure to biocontaminants mattress CB-IgE analysed. Two thirds undetectable (<0.35 kU x L(-1)). Thus, 0.35...
