There is substantial heterogeneity among allergen-sensitized children. Researchers and clinicians need to be aware of the non-specificity associated with labelling children simply as "atopic" and "non-atopic" without considering the timing of their atopic history, type of sensitization and AD status. Children with AD who were poly-sensitized to foods at an early age appear to be at greatest risk of developing other allergic diseases.
