Table 1.
Frequencies of positive skin prick tests (SPT) in 481 children with aeroallergen-specific IgE (sIgE).
Table 2.
Crude and adjusted odds-ratio (OR) of statistically significant associations of possible determinants with skin prick test (SPT) to at least one allergen or B. tropicalis or D. pteronyssinus in 481 children with specific IgE to the respective allergens.
Fig 1.
Anti-Blomia tropicalis IgE levels in serum samples assayed using as antigens B. tropicalis extract depleted or not of carbohydrate.
Anti-Blomia tropicalis IgE levels were measured by indirect in-house ELISA in individuals positive for this antibody in IMMUNOCAP and were divided in two groups: SPT negative or positive for the same allergen. Antigen was treated with methaperiodate and the sera were assayed against raw and methaperiodate treated antigens. *Difference of sIgE results between SPT positive and SPT negative children (Mann–Whitney test). **Difference of sIgE results before and after antigen treatment with methaperiodate (Wilcoxon test).
