Currently, testing for immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization is the cornerstone of diagnostic
evaluation in suspected allergic conditions. This review provides a thorough and updated …

IgE sensitization tests, such as skin prick testing and serum‐specific IgE, have been used to
diagnose IgE‐mediated clinical allergy for many years. Their prime drawback is that they …

Immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated allergic diseases are increasing rapidly, affecting the
quality of life of millions of people and causing enormous costs for society. Accurately …

This chapter reviews clinical and laboratory analyses that aid in the diagnosis and
management of human allergic (IgE-dependent) diseases. The diagnostic algorithm for …

The basis of any diagnosis of allergy requires a good history and examination, which should
then provide a certain degree of confidence as to whether or not allergy is present. However …

Advances in technology have provided new laboratory tools for the quantitation of allergen-
specific IgE antibodies in serum and on the surface of basophils. This review examines the …

Blood tests are available that measure levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) against specific
allergens such as foods, inhalants, medications, latex, and venoms. These tests can confirm …

Background: Our aims were to evaluate the performance of a fully automated system for
measuring circulating allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) against an established in vitro assay and …

Clinical laboratory analyses aid in the diagnosis and management of human allergic (IgE-
dependent) diseases. Diagnosis of immediate-type hypersensitivity begins with a thorough …

Skin prick testing is an essential test procedure to confirm sensitization in IgE-mediated
allergic disease in subjects with rhinoconjunctivitis, asthma, urticaria, anapylaxis, atopic …
