Background. Egg component-specific IgE can be useful to evaluate and diagnose egg allergy, but their prevalence and clinical significance remain unclear in the local population. Previous studies have led to contradictory results regarding the value of specific IgG and specific IgG4 in sensitization. Objective. We aimed to determine the level of specific IgE, IgG, and IgG4 antibodies to the major egg allergens in egg-allergic children. Methods. Children from 6 months to 10 years of age were recruited. Egg allergy was confirmed by either a strong clinical history or an increased egg white-sIgE level. Other allergies were diagnosed by reactivity to other allergens but without egg-related symptoms and history. The serum sIgE, sIgG, and sIgG4 levels to major egg allergenic components (Gal d 1, Gal d 2, Gal d 3, Gal d 4, and Gal d 5), sIgE level to egg white, and tIgE level were determined by light-initiated chemiluminescent assay (LICA), ELISA, or ImmunoCAP. Results. Egg-allergic children had significantly higher levels of sIgE, sIgG, and sIgG4 to egg components than nonallergic children. Gal d 2 was the predominant allergen, and Gal d 2 sIgE level correlated with the egg white-sIgE level. Ratios of sIgE/sIgG4 to egg components were highest before 1 year of age and dropped gradually in the first decade of life. Conclusion. Patterns of sIgE to egg components could distinguish different forms of egg allergy. Ratios of sIgE/sIgG4 could be useful in predicting tolerance in egg-sensitive subjects, but this needs further evaluation and investigation using more accurate models.
