Exposure to foodborne and orofecal microbes versus airborne viruses in relation to atopy and allergic asthma: epidemiological study
Paolo Maria Matricardi,Francesco Rosmini,Silvia Riondino,Michele Fortini,Luigina Ferrigno,Maria Rapicetta,Sergio Bonini +6 more
TL;DR: Respiratory allergy is less frequent in people heavily exposed to orofecal and foodborne microbes andgiene and a westernised, semisterile diet may facilitate atopy by influencing the overall pattern of commensals and pathogens that stimulate the gut associated lymphoid tissue thus contributing to the epidemic of allergic asthma and rhinitis in developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross sectional retrospective study of prevalence of atopy among Italian military students with antibodies against hepatitis a virus
Paolo Maria Matricardi,Francesco Rosmini,Luigina Ferrigno,Roberto Nisini,Maria Rapicetta,Paola Chionne,Tommaso Stroffolini,Paolo Pasquini,Raffaele D'Amelio +8 more
TL;DR: Indirect but important evidence is added to the working hypothesis as common infections acquired early in life because of the presence of many older siblings or because of unhygienic living conditions (among seropositive subjects) may have reduced the risk of developing atopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hay fever and asthma in relation to markers of infection in the United States
TL;DR: Serologic evidence of acquisition of certain infections, mainly food-borne and orofecal infection, is associated with a lower probability of having hay fever and asthma in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sibship size, birth order, and atopy in 11,371 Italian young men
Paolo Maria Matricardi,Ferruccio Franzinelli,Alfredo Franco,Giuseppe Caprio,Fernando Murru,Domenico Cioffi,Luigina Ferrignoc,Antonio Palermoa,Natale Ciccarelli,Francesco Rosmini +9 more
TL;DR: In a very large and homogeneous population sample of a Mediterranean country, not only sibship size but also birth order was significantly associated with atopy, which supports the hypothesis that cross-infections acquired early in infancy or in later childhood might prevent development of atopy later in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Communitywide Outbreak of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome Associated with Non-O157 Verocytotoxin-Producing Escherichia coli
Alfredo Caprioli,Ida Luzzi,Francesco Rosmini,Carlo Resti,Alberto Edefonti,Francesco Perfumo,Claudio Farina,Antonio Goglio,Alessandra Gianviti,Gianfranco Rizzoni +9 more
TL;DR: From 20 April through 13 May 1992, 9 children were hospitalized with hemolytic-uremic syndrome in Lombardia, Italy, where only 14 cases of this syndrome had occurred in the preceding 4 years.
