ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the validity and predictive value of CAP specific IgE test system.Methods Five allergen-specific IgEs,i.e.,specific IgE to mites,mugwort pollens,hop pollens,cat epithelium and dander,and Alternaria alternate,were tested in selected randomly allergic and non-allergic patients by using CAP system.Results In 957 tests the sensitivity of specific IgE to the 5 allergens was 99.0%,97.9%,91.7%,93.5% and 85.5%,and the specificity was 96.2%,95.8%,93.0%,97.0% and 91.7%.The positive and negative predictive values were greater than 94% and 80% respectively.Conclusion CAP system is of great potential value for diagnosis of allergens.
