Objective: To investigate the significance of sIgE and sIgG detection and their clinical application in chronic urticaria serum patients. Methods: 593 cases of chronic urticaria patients were recruited in this study. The food and inhalant sIgE were detected using immunoblot assay from serum of chronic urticaria patients, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied for sIgG detection. The results in different age groups were compared. Results: The positive rate of ingested sIgG in 593 patients was 76.73%, the top four food was eggs, milk, crab and soybean. The ingested sIgE positive rate was 54.13%, and the top four food was crab, shrimp, milk and cashew nuts. Food sIgG and sIgE test results were significantly different(P<0.01). The anaphylactogen in different age groups was not the same. The total positive rate of inhalation of allergen sIgE was 89.38%, the top three was dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, dwarf ragweed, and mold combination. Conclusion: The combined determination of serum sIgE and sIgG is the best effective method to look for allergen in chronic urticaria patients. It is important to control the environment and food for the prevention and treatment of acute urticaria and acute attack of chronic urticaria. |
