Asthma, hay fever, and phlegm production associated with distinct patterns of allergy skin test reactivity, eosinophilia, and serum IgE levels. The Normative Aging Study.

The American review of respiratory disease - 1 Oct 1991

Tollerud D J, O'Connor G T, Sparrow D, Weiss S T

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the relationship of three phenotypic markers of atopy (allergy skin test reactivity, serum IgE level, and eosinophilia) to the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in 1,071 middle-aged and older men participating in the Normative Aging Study. Participants had all been health screened at the onset of the study in the 1960s to exclude individuals with asthma or other chronic respiratory diseases....
