They were classified as atopic if had at least one positivity when screened with ImmunoCAP Phadiatop and fx5 (Food mix 5; 6 common foods), a technology considered as the gold standard for IgE antibody blood testing worldwide. For identification of the sensitizing allergens atopic patients were further tested by ImmunoCAP Specific IgE using a broad panel of common Indian allergens covering 17 foods and 19 inhalants (singles/mixes). Total IgE level was also determined for each atopic patient.
