[A comparative study on skin tests and allergen-specific IgE levels determined by enzyme allergo-sorbent testing (EAST)].
Ninety seven randomly selected subjects with bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis were classified for the comparative studies. The level of allergen specific IgE determined by Enzyme Allergo-Sorbent Testing (EAST) was compared with skin tests. The statistically significant correlation was found for 9 selected allergens. However, the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient values varied largely, depending on a given allergen. They ranged from 0.74 (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) to 0.33 (Birch pollen) what might be, in the authors' opinion, a result of Bencard allergens use for skin tests and Kallestad allergens for EAST.
