Evaluation 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 کاملLevels of total serum IgE and specific IgE sensitization profile in patients with atopic dermatitis
Background Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial disease associated with elevated production of IgE and sensitization to multiple food and inhalant allergens.The aim of this study was to assess the levels of total serum IgE (IgE) and specific IgE (sp IgE ) for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp), Blomia tropicalis (Bt), egg white, casein, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin in patients wit...
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 کاملThe 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 کاملSerum specific IgE: a biomarker of response to allergen immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has proven to be effective. However, no biomarkers capable of predicting the clinical response to AIT have been detected. The aim of the present study was to determine a cutoff value for serum specific IgE that could be associated with effective AIT. METHODS We evaluated 174 allergic patients (83 males) with ages ranging between 6 and 77 years. All pati...
