Allergic sensitization in American children of Middle Eastern ethnicity at age 2

Children of Middle Eastern ethnicity (MEE) born in the United States are seldom specifically examined in allergic disease research, and the prevalence of allergic sensitization in these children is unknown.1 For analyses, these children can be combined with white children not of MEE or excluded entirely because of the small sample, as we have previously done.2,3 However, this subgroup could have a unique set of cultural norms and/or environmental exposures that distinguish them from white, black, non–Middle Eastern, and non-Hispanic children with respect to allergic disease risk factors.
