Cord blood IgE were determined by using the PRIST and the RAST techniques in 123 cases. The RAST assay was never positive. Total IgE were detectable in 34% of the samples; statistically increased levels were found in babies born from allergic mothers and/or when the mothers were treated with progesterone during their gestation.
