  • Title: The influence of tobacco parental smoking on serum IgE level of their offspring.
    Author: Ołdak E.
    Journal: Rocz Akad Med Bialymst; 1997; 42(1):191-5. PubMed ID: 9581479.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to evaluate the influence of passive smoking on serum IgE level and on incidence of atopic diseases in infants. Eighty two infants and their families were studied. The cigarette smoking was recorded in 28% of mothers and in 62% of fathers. Both parents were smokers in 20 families (24%). An elevated total serum IgE level was demonstrated significantly more frequent in the children of smoking mothers (p < 0.05). Paternal smoking did not influence neither serum IgE level nor incidence of atopic diseases.
