Abstract
Three [human] cases of milk sensitivity and 2 of soybean sensitivity are presented, suggesting that pre-natal and post-natal sensitization may have been involved in the production of eczematous manifestations of early infancy. Hemagglutinating antibody titers against lactalbumin and soybean in the amniotic fluid were unusually high. Hemagglutinating antibody estimation against foods in the amniotic fluid may possibly predict infantile allergic manifestations in the newborn.
