Comparison of Specific IgE Antibodies to Wheat Component Allergens in Two Phenotypes of Wheat Allergy

Specific IgE to gliadin was proposed as a marker for wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis, while Tri a 14 was found to induce IgE response in baker's asthma. We evaluated whether these components could be used for discriminating phenotypes of wheat allergy. Twenty-nine patients who were wheat-induced anaphylaxis and/or urticaria (n=21, group I) and baker's asthma (n=8, group II) were en...

Specific IgE for foods in a Romanian adult population

Material and Methods Specific IgE for 20 common foods in 432 Romanian adults were evaluatted by MAST in sera. The patients were submited to our allergy department for urticaria (278 pts) and respiratory allergy (rhinits and/or asthma) (154 pts). We evaluated the presence of specific IgE to 20 foods. The foods evaluated were: hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cow’s milk protein (casein and l...

Specific IgE to Common Food Allergens in Children with Atopic Dermatitis

Background: Atopic dermatitis is a major public health problem, often starting in early childhood and sometimes followed by other allergic diseases. Although hypersensitivity to foods is assumed to play an essential role in the development of atopic dermatitis in some patients, little is known about common food allergens in Iranian children with atopic dermatitis. Objectives: This study was des...

Specific IgE Assay for Respiratory Allergens in Patients with Atopy in Ahvaz, Iran

Insect Sting Reactions and Specific IgE to Venom and Major Allergens in a General Population.

BACKGROUND Insect sting reactions are frequently reported, but population studies documenting the frequency and the relation to IgE-sensitization and serum tryptase are scarce. METHODS Questionnaire data and results from measurements of specific IgE against venom, major allergens and cross-reacting carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) were collected from 2,090 adult participants in a cross-sectio...
