| Popis: | Methods 105 patients (18-60 years) with a clinical diagnosis of asthma and/or rhinitis, based only on clinical history and physical examination,visiting an Otolaryngology department in a tertiary hospital were included in the study. Phadiatop, a test with extensive data published in the West showing >90% sensitivity and specificity, was used as the gold standard for atopy. Phadiatop measures IgE antibodies to a balanced mixture of common environmental allergens relevant for the geographical area and the age of the patients (adults). For each patient the result of Phadiatop was compared with: I. Clinical history (Hx), II. Total IgE level (T-IgE) and III. Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC). |
