The predictive value of total serum IgE for a positive allergen specific IgE result.
BACKGROUND Measurement of total serum IgE and allergen specific IgE is often requested to assess possible allergy. As public awareness increases, so do requests for allergy assessment; unless there is a clear "allergen suspect" in the history, several allergen specific IgE requests may be made. This increases the likelihood of detecting borderline increases in allergen specific IgE of uncertain...
متن کامل[Usefulness of total IgE in predicting positive allergen specific IgE Tests in Korean subjects].
BACKGROUND Total IgE levels in allergic patients tend to be higher than those in healthy individuals. We evaluated the usefulness of total IgE levels in predicting positive results of allergen specific IgEs in multiple allergen simultaneous tests. METHODS A total of 133 patients with allergic symptoms were evaluated. Allergen specific IgEs were detected using 3 different kits: Allergy screen ...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum s-IgE/total IgE ratio in predicting clinical response to allergen-specific immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND To date, no predictive tests for the clinical response to allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASI) are available. Therefore an in vivo or in vitro test would be of great value. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate pretreatment parameters used in diagnosing allergic rhinitis and determining serum specific IgE (s-IgE) levels, serum total IgE (t-IgE) levels, and blood eosinophil counts and to...
متن کاملThe Age Impact on Serum Total and Allergen-Specific IgE
Aging is accompanied by a progressive decline in almost all functions of the immune system. To investigate a possible impact of age on IgE production, this study evaluated total and allergen-specific serum IgE levels in a large cohort of allergic patients. This study included 6,370 allergic patients (2,961 females, 3,409 males; mean age, 21.7 years; age range, 0-96 years). Total and allergen-sp...
متن کاملOmalizumab's Impact on Total and Allergen-Specific IgE Levels: A Polyclonal Story.
the rapid decrease in free serum IgE levels was noticed [3, 4] . However, the impact of omalizumab on changes in allergen-specific IgE levels has so far not been investigated. In a recent issue of the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology , Mizuma et al. [5] were the first to report changes not only in the levels of total IgE but also of allergen-specific IgE. The authors retrospecti...
