[Increase of IgE in asthmatic children: correlation with eosinophilia, skin tests and the value of the other gamma-globulins].
After considering IgE behaviour in various forms of atopic diseases the authors examine the importance of serum IgE levels in bronchial asthma diagnosis. They herein underline the correlation between IgE and positive skin test, its relationship with other immunoglobulines and its proportional increase to the age of the patient and the eosinophilia. As far as this study is concerned, 91% of asthmatic children register an IgE increase, against 9% only, this being the case of children under three years of age; 91% skin tests are positive and 41% register an increase of IgA, while the eosinophilia is unsignificant. The anamnestic data of atopic dermatitis and asthmatic bronchitis affecting 15 among our patients are found to be of great importance.
