Remarkable increases of salivary IgE levels in allergic syndromes.
Serum and salivary IgE levels were tested by indirect ELISA in patients with allergic contact dermatitis and allergic asthma or rhinitis. The remarkable increases of salivary IgE (from 928.4% mean augmentation in allergic asthma or rhinitis to 2686.2% in allergic contact dermatitis) suggest the idea of using saliva in IgE titration.
