ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the valuability of dipstick IgE detection method as a screening test for allergic diseases, we compared the results of dipstick test to that of RAST and skin prick test.METHODS:
Twenty children who visited to pediatric allergy clinic in Soon Chun Hyang University were enrolled to comparative study of dipstick IgE detection method to Skin prick test and RAST. Dipstick IgE detection method was performed by using AllergodipR(Allergopharma Joachim Ganzer KG). We compared the sensitivity and specificity of dipstick IgE detection method to RASt and skin prick test.RESULTS:
The sensitivity and specificity of AllergodipR for inhalant allergen(D.pteronyssinus) to RAST were 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AllergodipR for inhalant allergen(D. pteronyssinus) to skin prick test were 77.8% and 90.9%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AllergodipR for food allergen to RAST were 0% and 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AllergodipR for inhalant allergen(D. pteronyssinus) to skin prick test were 0% and 100%, respectively.CONCLUSION:
The dipstick method(AllergodipR) can be used as a screening test for detection of specific IgE to inhalant allergen.
