Geometric mean total serum IgE levels (IU/mL ± SEM) in acute and convalescent serum samples for persistent wheezers (n = 49), transient early wheezers (n = 88), and children who had nonwheezing LRIs (n = 42). Differences between acute and convalescent means were analyzed by paired t tests for each group.

Mean percent (A) and number (B) of peripheral blood eosinophils (± SEM) in acute and well-baby serum samples for persistent wheezers (n = 33), transient early wheezers (n = 66) and children who had nonwheezing LRIs (n = 43). Differences between well-baby and acute means were analyzed by paired t tests for each group.
