Abstract

The link between allergy and infection, or the microbial world, is receiving world-wide attention. Infectious organisms may play a role in allergy prevention, but some organisms have been linked to the causation of atopic disease. Many (sometimes the same) organisms may exacerbate atopic disease, including diseases of the respiratory tract.
