Microarray Analysis Confirms ImmunoCAP-Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay Results on Specific IgE in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis and Suspected Birch Pollen-Related Food Allergy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies demonstrated that birch pollen-related foods can cause late eczematous responses in birch pollen-sensitized patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). However, suitable markers to predict birch pollen-related food allergy in patients with AD are still lacking.

Objective

We evaluated the correlation of the results from ImmunoCAP® fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) singleplex and ImmunoCAP® immuno solid-phase allergen chip (ISAC) multiplex system in AD patients and investigated the diagnostic validity of allergen microarray analysis, measuring specific IgE (sIgE) with ImmunoCAP® ISAC to predict birch pollen-related food allergy in patients with AD.

Methods

A total of 19 children and adults with AD, existing IgE-mediated birch pollen sensitizat
