“…( keine Testungen Bei einer Differenzierung obiger Vergleichswerte nach Geschlecht (Tabelle 2) ergeben sich keine grundlegend anderen Ergebnisse. Dies steht zwar im Gegensatz zu anderen Untersuchungen (8), doch scheinen Testungen bei Nahrungsmittelallergikern in ihrem Ergebnis nicht unproblematisch zu sein (19). Bei den weiblichen Patienten stieg der Grad der tJbereinstimmung auf 81,1 Prozent.…”

“…It is well documented that the immune response to food proteins in atopic dermatitis patients can in clude the production of IgE antibody [1][2][3]. While a clinical sensitivity can only be confirmed by carefully controlled challenge and avoidance studies [4,5], it remains important to accurately quantitate the foodspecific IgE antibody response.…”

Sixty patients with atopic dermatitis attending an allergy clinic were assessed for evidence of skin sensitivity and serum antibodies to egg and milk proteins. Prick skin test responses to egg were found in 23 patients and in 74% of these positive egg radioallergosorbent test (RAST) was demonstrable. Positive prick test for milk were present in 10 patients, but only 30% gave a positive milk RAST. Quantitative intradermal skin testing, RAST, and a double antibody antigen binding radioimmunoassay confirmed the presence of IgE antibody to egg proteins but indicated that the levels were very low when compared to those seen to the house dust mite antigen in sensitive patients. In contrast, IgG antibody to purified egg and milk proteins was present in large amount in most patients, the levels being significantly higher than in non-allergic controls.

“…Children with strong and unequivocal food allergies usually have high serum concentrations of IgE specific to the ofl'ending food proteins (Aas & Lundkvist, 1973;Hofl"man & Haddad, 1974;Schur, Hyde & Wypych, 1974;Chua et al, 1976;Dannaeus et al, 1977). In our study, child A.K., 6 years old, had a wheat RAST score of 4-the highest encountered (Table 3).…”

We have used the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) to determine IgE antibodies specific to wheat flour proteins in the sera of seven groups of patients. In some cases ryespecific IgE was also determined. Wheat and rye RAST scores showed a good correlation, presumably due to cross-reactions. Among bakers with asthma, positive scores, 0-5-3, occurred with a prevalence of 43%, and among children with eczema, scores in the range 0'5-4 were found with a prevalence of 54%. A score of 0-5 was a marginal value which was also occasionally encountered with sera from patient groups with no history of immediate hypersensitivity to wheat or rye. These groups included adults and children with allergic rhinitis and asthma, children from the general population and children with coehac disease. The RAST appeared useful in the diagnosis of allergy to inhaled flour dust among bakers. Among children with eczema, positive wheat and rye RAST results were a common finding, which only occasionally could be linked to strong and unequivocal reactions to the foods in question. Both in bakers and children with eczema, wheat and rye RAST results showed good agreement with intracutaneous skin test results.
