Abstrakt: Only an estimated 20%-30% of patients outgrow their sesame allergy, and severe anaphylactic reactions are common, underscoring the need to optimize recognition and diagnosis of this allergy.[2] Dividing sesame IgE by total serum IgE did not appear to improve the ability of sesame sIgE to predict allergy in this cohort (Figure D,F). However, logistic regression analysis found that a model with the two variables, total IgE and sesame sIgE, provided statistically significant better prediction of sesame allergy than a model with sesame sIgE alone. In summary, sesame allergy is common among children with IgE-mediated food allergy and often co-occurs with peanut and tree nut sensitization and allergy. [Extracted from the article]
