Background. To establish the clinical and immunological features of the manifestations of allergic diseases in children with IgE-mediated sensitization to potato. Methods. allergy tests (skin prick tests and / or the determination of specific IgE in serum by ImmunoCap, Phadia was performed in 171 children with allergic diseases, who had sensitization to food plant proteins. Results. sensitization to the potato found in 134 children. significant discrepancies (36%) in the results of in vitro and in vivo tests to the potatoes were shown. sensitization to the potatoes is more common in patients with atopic dermatitis (ad), especially in severe disease. among children with the level of specific IgE antibodies to potato ≥2 kUa / l there were more common patients with severe ad. the correlation between the level of specific IgE antibodies to the potatoes and some of food plant proteins was found. the relationship between the concentration of specific IgE to the potatoes and Bet v 2 was not detected. Conclusion. the presence and concentration of specific IgE to the potatoes to a certain extent associated with clinical manifestations of ad. the data obtained substantiate the determination of specific IgE antibodies to potato in children with ad, especially in severe cases.

We studied the frequency of occurrence and concentration of allergen-specific IgE antibodies (asIgE) to enterotoxins A, B, C and TSST-1 of Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia spp. in the serum of children with atopic dermatitis in the acute period of the disease. The determination of asIgE levels was performed in 84 children aged from 5 months to 17 years using the immunochemiluminescent method on the UniCAP 100 analyzer (Phadia, Sweden). The level of asIgE was evaluated on a scale of 6 classes.The sensitization to S. aureus enterotoxins was detected in 29 children with аsIgE concentration from 0.35 to 25.8 kU/L (I–IV classes). In 16 children were observed 8 polysensitization options to S. aureus allergens. Combinations of asIgE to A + B and A + B + C enterotoxins were most common – in every fourth and fifth child,respectively. Sensitization to Malassezia spp. was observed in 41 children with concentration from 0.38 to 98.9 KU/L (I–V classes). Polysensitization to both S. aureus and Malassezia spp. allergens was observed in one of two children. A higher degree of sensitisation to Malassezia spp allergens has been established compared to S. aureus.Conclusion. To improve the specific diagnostics of atopic dermatitis, it is advisable to examine the serum for a complete panel of recombinant S. aureus enterotoxins in combination with the determination of asIgE to Malassezia spp.

Two in vitro systems of measuring total IgE and specific IgE antibodies were compared using serum of patients suspected of having allergic rhinitis due to inhalation of grass pollen. One in vitro system was the Phadebas PRIST and RAST. The accuracy of these tests has been well defined and they were used as the standard. The Acti*Tip Allerg*E and Allerg*ENS system is a new technique utilizing a similar solid-phase immunologic methodology with an enzyme-based detection system. It has some advantages primarily related to the mechanics of performing the test and marked reduction in time for obtaining results. The correlation between the Phadebas and Acti*Tip systems was highly significant for measuring total IgE and specific IgE antibodies for grasses in serum.

Background/Aim. Atopic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma have had increased prevalence during the past decade and nowadays occur in every third child in developed countries. The aim of the study was to determine frequency and type of atopic diseases at the age of two, as well as the importance the total IgE antibodies concentrations have in diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Methods. The study involved 175 children up to two years of age. Allergy-like symptoms were found after surveying their parents and pediatric medical records. Using the fluorescence immunossay (FIA) method, total IgE antibodies concentrations and specific IgE antibodies (Phadiatop infant) were determined on an Immunocap 100 Dyagnostic System. Results. One or more allergy-like symptoms accounted for 57.7% of findings in children under the age of two, whilst in 19.4% the existence of IgE-related allergic diseases was found. Atopic diseases usually have clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis (11.4%), IgE-bound wheezing/asthma (10.8%) and food allergies (7.4%), and to much lesser extent those of allergic rhinitis (3.4%) and urticaria (1.7%). The significantly higher total IgE antibodies concentrations were found in children with allergy-like symptoms (p < 0.0005) (cut-off 15.15 kU/L, sensitivity 76.5% specificity 71.6%). Conclusion. Almost 20% of two-year-old children have any of clinically manifested allergic diseases, with atopic dermatitis and IgE wheeze/asthma being predominant. The higher total IgE antibodies concentration is a good marker for sensitization in children with allergy-like symptoms.
