Table 1. Correlation between total IgE (kU/L) and test results.
Double sensitization | Mono sensitization | Double negative | p | |
BAT | 54.3 (24.5; 217.3) | 64.7 (36.9; 151.0) | 58.9 (22.7; 112.0) | 0.463 |
ADVIA | 117.0 (50.9; 397.6) | 51.7 (30.3; 123.4) | 35.9 (10.4; 142.4) | 0.008 |
IDT | 88.7 (45.2; 252.0) | 53.9 (29.4; 103.5) | 35.3 (8.7; 69.0) | 0.014 |
CAP | 90.8 (48.9; 230.0) | 43.3 (29.1; 64.2) | 28.0 (10.6; 66.0) | 0.000 |
Immulite | 87.2 (42.6; 246.0) | 51.5 (19.6; 87.5) | 8.0 (2.7; 95.6) | 0.006 |
In all tests except in the BAT, double sensitized patients showed higher levels of total IgE (tIgE) compared to mono sensitized patients. Conversely, double negative patients had lower tIgE levels compared to mono- and double sensitized patients.
