Abstract		In the last 20-30 years, the prevalence of atopic diseases has increased considerably in developed countries. Both specific and nonspecific environmental factors play a major role in the development of allergic diseases. There is convincing evidence of an association between early exposure to allergens and sensitisation and the developement of allergic disease. During early postnatal life contact with infectious agents plays an obligatory role in stimulating the functional maturation of Th 1 cells.
Summary		V zadnjih 20 do 30 letih je pojavljanje atopijskih bolezni predvsem v razvitih deželah v porastu. Pri razvoju alergijskih bolezni igrajo pomembno vlogo specifični in nespecifični dejavniki. Dokazana je povezava med izpostavljanjem alergenom v zgodnjem otroštvu in senzibilizacijo ter razvojem alergijskih bolezni v kasnejšem življenju. Okužbe dojenčka po rojstvu omogočijo funkcionalno dozorevanje Th 1 celic.
