Total IgE Levels and Peripheral Eosinophilia

Evaluation of asthma severity: Relevance of total serum IgE, sputum and peripheral eosinophilia

Total IgE Levels in Healthy Children in Tehran, Iran

Determining the normal range of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in any population is important for diagnosis of allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to determine normal values of IgE in children living in Tehran. Two-handed and fifty six healthy children aged one month to 14 years were selected. These children had neither parasitic infections nor atopic disease. They were divided into six groups...

The relationship of skin test positivity, high serum total IgE levels, and peripheral blood eosinophilia to symptomatic and asymptomatic airway hyperresponsiveness.

The relationships of skin test positivity, high serum total IgE levels (> 100 kU/L), and peripheral blood eosinophilia (>/= 275 cells/microliter) to symptomatic (either chronic cough, chronic phlegm, bronchitis episodes, dyspnea, wheeze, or asthma) and asymptomatic bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) were studied cross-sectionally in 620 adult subjects who participated in the Vlagtwedde-Vlaardi...

Total and antigen-specific Ige levels in umbilical cord blood

The present study was conducted to learn whether the perinatal and environmental factors could influence the total and antigen-specific IgE levels in umbilical cord blood. Retrospective data were obtained from 173 mother-infant pairs. Total and specific (for children's food, wheat/grass and house dust mite-HDM) cord blood IgE levels were determined using the immunoassay test. The total cord blo...

Levels 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...
