title: [The correlation analysis of the reactive intensity of intradermal test for allergens and the concentration of specific IgE in serum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the relationship between the reactive intensity of allergen intradermal test and the concentration of specific IgE (sIgE) in serum.
  
  
  METHODS
  Intradermal test of six kinds of allergens was done in 192 cases of allergic rhinitis, including house dust, mite in powder and dust, poly mould, spring pollen, summer autumn pollen and Artemisia pollen. The serumic study of these kinds of allergens was also done with Pharmacia CAP system.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total accordance rates of these six kinds of allergens with IgE in serum respectively are: house dust 65.93%, mite in powder and dust 68.1%, poly mould 55.6%, spring pollen 66.7%, summer autumn pollen 60.0% and Artemisia pollen 74.4%. The correlation index of them respectively are: house dust 0.4235 (P < 0.01), mite in powder and dust 0.4029(P < 0.01), poly mould 0.4932, spring pollen 0.3277 (P < 0.05), summer autumn pollen 0.2412 (P > 0.05) and Artemisia pollen 0.5000 (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intradermal test of five kinds of allergens except for summer autumn pollen correlates with the concentration of IgE in serum.
