title: [Efficacy of a new in vitro test (Phadiatop paediatric) for the diagnosis of allergy in children].
abstract: An investigation was done to know specificity and sensitivity of one in vitro test useful for diagnosis of allergy in pediatric age (Phadiatop paediatric), in 65 children in two groups. Group 1 (35 children) with diagnosis of respiratory allergy (asthma, rhinitis, or both) based on clinical history, eosinophils, IgE and skin tests; and group 2 (control) with no allergy diagnosis. In both groups IgE was measured and Phadiatop test was done. In group 1, Phadiatop paediatric was positive in 28 children (80%) while in group 2 was positive in 2 children (6.6%) that means a 67.5% sensitivity and 88.0% specificity, for this test.
