AbstractBACKGROUND: The value of cord blood IgE in predicting the development of asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to determine factors affecting cord blood IgE level and (2) to determine whether cord blood IgE predicts the development of asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases in high risk (defined as those with at least one first degree relative with asthma or 2 first degree relatives with other IgE-mediated allergic diseases) infants at 12 months. METHODS: The study utilized cord blood obtained from a group of high risk infants who took part in a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of an intervention program in the primary prevention of asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Total IgE and cotinine in the cord blood were measured. Assessment of the infants was done at 12 months for these diseases. RESULTS: Sixty-four (17.8%) infants had detectable total IgE in cord blood >0.5 kU/L. The proportion of infants with elevated cord blood IgE was significantly higher among nonwhites, birth during winter months, and those with a maternal history of asthma. There was no correlation between cord blood IgE and cord blood cotinine level. Cord blood IgE was found to be a significant predictor for the development of urticaria due to food allergy but not for other outcomes. CONCLUSION: Both genetic and environmental risk factors play a role in determining the level of IgE in cord blood. Cord blood IgE was a significant risk factor for the development of urticaria due to food allergy at 12 months of life. As urticaria due to food allergy is a prodrome for anaphylaxis, measurement of IgE in cord blood may be indicated in infants at high risk for developing allergic diseases so that preventive measures can be applied.
