Previous studies in our laboratory have investigated the role of IgE and the immune response to specific viruses including: Parvovirus B19 in children [1], HIV-1 in HIV-1 seropositive, non progressor pe-diatric patients [2, 3], Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) [4, 5], as well as in both children and adults with a past history of chicken pox infection or VZV vaccination [6]. Other studies in our laboratory also identified IgE anti- spirochete antibodies (B. Burgdorferi) and its persistence one year later in serum of lyme-infected children [7]. Studies in humans and animals reported by others have identified IgE anti-virus antibodies inseveral viral infections including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [8, 9], parainfluenza [10], HTLV-1 [11], Puumala virus [12], HSV-1, HSV-2,
