Zusammenfassung:	Background: The aim of this study was to determine cut-off values for total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) between non-atopic and atopic children with respiratory symptoms. Children of 0–16 years of age were evaluated for respiratory symptoms of >4-week duration. Methods: Children were divided into two groups: non-atopic children (n=3355) who were non-IgE-sensitized with undetectable allergen-specific IgE (
