Results When HR IgE FHS were categorized by eczema severity, those with severe AD were more likely to have HR IgE to cow’s milk (x2 11.3, P < 0.001), egg (x2 6.5, P < 0.05) and peanut (x2 25.4, P < 0.0001) compared to those with mild to moderate AD. Those ≤ 2 years with severe AD were more likely to have multiple HR IgE FHS compared to those with mild to moderate AD for all combinations: cow’s milk and egg (x2 18.62, P < 0.0001); peanut and egg: (x2 24.72, P < 0.0001); cow’s milk and peanut (x2 16.37, P < 0.0001); cow’s milk, egg and peanut (x2 20.01, P < 0.0001).
