The overall prevalence of sIgE responses to allergens
The overall prevalence of positive sIgE responses to the 9 allergens
across mainland China from highest to lowest was 33.74% for house dust
mites, 24.5% for cockroaches,
19.97% for shrimp, 17.31% for crab, 11.62% for cow’s milk, 10.92%
for egg whites, 9.35% for tree pollen mix, 4.02% for dog dander and
3.92% for mold mix. The results in Table 1 show that the concentrations
of sIgE to all allergens were mainly lower than 3.50 kUA/L (class 1 and
class 2). The higher the sIgE level
was for an allergen, the lower the likelihood of classification from
class 3 to class 6.
