Salivary IgA concentrations of 63 atopic and 60 non-atopic children were studied. Twenty-three children with a history of atopy who had not received immunotherapy had a significantly lower mean salivary IgA concentration than age-matched normal children. As a group, they may therefore be more vulnerable to respiratory infection.
