The book explores the critical role of early-life predictors in allergic sensitization, emphasizing the impact of maternal environmental exposure on newborn immune functions. It highlights three key findings: the prevalence of in-utero exposure to specific allergens (HDM allergens Der p1 & Blo t5), the resulting T-cell helper function imbalance, and the potential for newborns to be predisposed to allergic diseases. This research aims to enhance the identification of at-risk infants for timely preventive measures.
