Correlations between initial mean levels of IgE, serological markers, and size of the largest AE lesion.

	IgE	Ech. IgG IHA	Ech. IgG EIA	Em2+
Ech. IgG IHA	s = 0.412; p < 0.001
Ech. IgG EIA	r = 0.211; p = 0.030	s = 0.542; p < 0.001
Em2+	s = 0.442; p < 0.001	s = 0.472; p < 0.001	s = 0.419; p < 0.001
Size of largest lesion	r = 0.438; p < 0.001	s = 0.489; p < 0.001	r = 0.431; p < 0.001	s = 0.551; p < 0.001
