ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the distribution of allergens in children with allergic disease in Changsha.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Total IgE and specific IgE against some allergens were examined by the AllergyScreen system in the sera of 437 children from Changsha with allergic disease.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rates of total IgE and special IgE were 68.9% and 69.1% respectively. Dermatophagoides farina, beef, mutton, milk and fur of cats and dogs were found as common allergens. The IgE positive rate against dermatophagoides farina was the highest in children with allergic rhinitis (86.0%), followed by in those with atopic dermatitis (41.2%), eczema (27.6%) and urticaria (20.0%). Serum IgE was positive against the fur of cats and dogs in 23.5% of children with atopic dermatitis and in 18.1% of children with eczema. The IgE positive rate was lower in children with urticaria and allergic rhinitis (10.0% and 8.7% respectively). IgE positive rates against milk, beef and mutton were high in the above four allergic diseases (range 14.0%-24.0%), but no significant differences were observed for the IgE positive rate among the four allergic diseases. The IgE positive rate to inhalant allergens in children at ages of less than 3 years was markedly higher than that in children at ages of more than 3 years (p<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Allergic diseases are mainly mediated by allergens. Allergens, especially dermatophagoides farina, fur of cats and dogs, beef, mutton and milk, play an important role in childhood allergic diseases in Changsha.</p>
