Genetic and environmental conditions involved in assessment of the immunological state in children with atopic dermatitis.

78 children were subjected to an analysis of the genetic and environmental conditions which might predispose them to allergy. Some of the parameters of cellular and humoral immunity were estimated. Among the examined children there was a predominance of boys. 46,9% of all the children had a family history of allergy. Most of the children were bottle fed from birth. Some children had abnormalities of the cell-mediated and humoral immunity.
