Description
Summary:Topic et al assess the rate of allergen specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibody positive findings in children under 6 years old with total immunoglobulin E (tIgE) concentrations below 10 kU/L as well as the relationship between sIgE concentrations and other diagnostic parameters. Results show significant differences in serum tIgE concentrations and peripheral blood eosinophil granulocyte counts between the groups of children with positive and negative sIgE findings. Negative skin prick tests were found in 54% of children with positive sIgE findings.
