Allergic sensitisation, usually reported by specific immunoglobulin E (s-IgE) or skin prick test, is a significant predictor of asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergy. Also, polysensitisation as well as higher levels of s-IgE to any one particular allergen appears to be associated with severe and/or complex (comorbid) allergic disease. However, information on early infant allergy sensitisation is largely lacking, and with conflicting results. In the Danish DARC birth cohort 12.5% of 3-month old infants were sensitised, while 16.7% of the 404 infants were sensitised at six months.
