Herpesvirus infections and allergic sensitization in children of families with anthroposophic and non‐anthroposophic lifestyle – the <scp>ALADDIN</scp> birth cohort

Abstract

Our results indicate that there is no strong influence of exposure to the anthroposophic lifestyle on the time for infection with EBV, HHV6, HHV7 or CMV. These infections can therefore not be assumed to be important factors in the allergy-protective effect of this lifestyle.
