(A) Levels of S. aureus EV-specific (left panel) and SEB-specific (right panel) IgG1 in serum from AD patients and healthy subjects. (B) Levels of S. aureus EV-specific IgE in serum from AD patients and healthy subjects (left panel), and positive rate of elevated S. aureus EV-specific IgE in AD patients (right panel). (C) Levels of SEB-specific IgE in serum from AD patients and healthy subjects (left panel), and positive rate of elevated SEB-specific IgE in AD patients (right panel). Serum samples from AD patients (n = 30 in patients aged 6–9 years, and n = 30 in patients aged 9–16 years) and healthy subjects aged 6–16 years (n = 20); EV, S. aureus-derived EV; SEB, staphylococcal enterotoxin B. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
