The Efficacy of Hazelnut IgE Component Testing in Determining Hazelnut Sensitivity

Rationale Prior studies indicate that hazelnut component testing (HCT) may serve as a better indicator for clinical reactivity than skin prick (SPT) and hazelnut-specific IgE testing (hIgE) in patients with birch pollen allergy. The charts were reviewed for demographic data, birch specific IgE (bIgE...

Zusammenfassung:Rationale Prior studies indicate that hazelnut component testing (HCT) may serve as a better indicator for clinical reactivity than skin prick (SPT) and hazelnut-specific IgE testing (hIgE) in patients with birch pollen allergy. The charts were reviewed for demographic data, birch specific IgE (bIgE), hIgE levels, SPT test results, hazelnut Cor a 1, 8, 9, and 14 levels, and trial of PCH.
