Allergy-related Evidences in Relation to Serum IgE:Data from the China State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease,2008-2013

Objective To investigate the serum total IgE(tlgE) and specific IgE(slgE) to common allergens among allergic patients in Guangzhou,China.Methods 7 085 patients were examined for tlgE and slgE to 15 allergens,based on the protocols of reversed enzyme allergosorbent test and the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results 3 758(53.04%) patients tested positive for tlgE,and 4 640(65.49%) for slgE.Der pteronyssinus,Der farinae,eggs,and cow’s milk were the most common allergens leading to higher positive rates of slgE responses.Several peaks of sensitization were:Der pteronyssinus,Der farinae,and Blomia tropicalis at age 10-12;cow’s milk at age below 3;eggs at age 4-6.The mean level and positive rate of tlgE tended to increase in subjects sensitized to more allergens.Sensitization to Der pteronyssinus(OR,1.6;P<0.05),Der farinae(OR,1.5;P<0.05),Blomia tropicalis(OR,1.4;P<0.05),Blattella germanica(OR,1.5;P<0.05),cow’s milk(OR,1.3;P<0.05),and soy beans(OR,2.0;P<0.05) were independently correlated with allergy-related conditions in preliminary diagnosis.Conclusion The major allergens in Guangzhou include Der pteronyssinus,Der farinae,cow’s milk,and eggs.Sensitization to these allergens appears to be predictors of allergy-related disorder.
