Correlation of Serum Allergy (IgE) Tests Performed by Different Assay Systems
REVIEWER COMMENTS. It is often assumed that reaction severity correlates with the food-specific IgE level, but most studies have refuted this notion. Here, a relationship was determined. However, it is difficult to assess the clinical utility of these results, because there was considerable overlap of the ranges of egg-specific IgE levels between groups. These findings may be more relevant to t...
متن کاملCorrelation of serum allergy (IgE) tests performed by different assay systems.
BACKGROUND In vitro testing is commonly used to diagnose and manage allergies. Clinical reactivity has been correlated with food-specific IgE levels by using the ImmunoCAP (Phadia, Uppsala, Sweden). OBJECTIVE To determine whether IgE levels derived from different assays are equivalent to those measured by ImmunoCAP. METHODS Fifty patients from the Mount Sinai Pediatric Allergy practice were...

متن کاملINTERPRETATION OF IgE-MEDIATED ALLERGY TESTS (RAST)
The diagnosis of an allergy in a patient can be very complicated. Over the years a number of methods have been developed for the detection of the small amounts of specific-IgE (sIgE) in human serum. Selecting the appropriate allergy test can be difficult and it should be in context of a patient’s clinical presentation. The relevance of a test may also vary according to the patient’s age, allerg...
