Abstract
Background
Several epidemiological studies have examined the possibility of a relationship between season of birth and atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA), yet their results are contradictory. We investigated the association between season of birth and risk of AD and FA in Japanese infants.
Methods
Study subjects were 612 newborn infants born at a single obstetric/pediatric clinic without perinatal diseases.
