Serum total IgE, serum IgA, and other parameters among cases with food allergy and cases with combined food and aeroallergens

Parameter		Food allergic cases (n = 45)	Combined food and aeroallergen (n = 55)	p-value
Age (years), mean ±SD		30.4 ±6.7	27.4 ±7.7	0.072
Gender, n (%)				0.836
	Male	17 (37.7)	20 (36.4)
	Female	28 (62.2)	35 (63.6)
Total serum IgE (IU/ml), median (IQR)		160.8 (114.7-309.1)	162 (82.8-295.5)	0.495
Serum IgA level (µg/ml), median (IQR)		65.6 (47.7, 71.3)	67.4 (57, 72)	0.554

IgE – immunoglobulin E, IgA – immunoglobulin A, IQR – interquartile range, SD – standard deviation
