title: [Umbilical cord IgE: a test for sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of atopy?].
abstract: Total IgE cord serum levels were measured in 200 newborns in the Hospital of Viadana-Bozzolo and familial allergic conditions were investigated in all the cases. In a 6 month follow up study attention was focused on the development of atopic symptoms. The sensibility, specificity and predictive value of the total IgE cord serum levels are discussed and the introducing of preventive measures in the at risk newborns is also questioned.
