We determined the total serum IgE levels among healthy individuals and atopic patients with respiratory symptoms in Porto Alegre.
Atopic patients (n: 92) and normal controls (n: 86) were stratified according to age and sex. Presence of atopy was recorded by history, clinical examination and skin prick test reactivity to common aeroallergens. Serum IgE was measured by Pharmacia Immuno-Cap System.
It was demonstrated that total serum IgE is higher in males than in females. Total serum IgE levels were significantly higher in the atopic group (404 UI/mL) in comparison with the non-atopics controls (54.4 UI/mL). Our study provided the normal range for total serum IgE among atopics and non-atopics individuals in Porto Alegre.
The profile of serum IgE among our population (atopics and non-atopics) is similar to the one observed in other countries.
我们测定了阿雷格里港健康个体及有呼吸道症状的特应性患者的血清总IgE水平。
将特应性患者（n = 92）和正常对照者（n = 86）按年龄和性别进行分层。通过病史、临床检查以及对常见气传变应原的皮肤点刺试验反应性来记录特应性情况。采用法玛西亚免疫捕获系统测定血清IgE。
结果表明男性血清总IgE高于女性。与非特应性对照组（54.4 UI/mL）相比，特应性组的血清总IgE水平显著更高（404 UI/mL）。我们的研究提供了阿雷格里港特应性个体和非特应性个体血清总IgE的正常范围。
我们人群（特应性和非特应性）的血清IgE概况与其他国家观察到的情况相似。
