CAP-Inhibition, Molecular Diagnostics, and Total IgE in the Evaluation of < b > < i > Polistes < /i > < /b > and < b > < i > Vespula < /i > < /b > Double Sensitization

This study investigates skin tests, molecular diagnostics, total IgE (tIgE), and the Ves v 5/Pol d 5 (or vice versa) ratio. The ratio generated low-accuracy results and poor agreement with CAP-inhibition, and we did not find any agreement between CAP-inhibition test and double values of Ves v 5/Pol d 5. Nevertheless, a slight diagnostic improvement was obtained when Ves v 5/tIgE and Pol d 5/tIgE were measured.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
