ImmunoCAP® Rapid is a rapid test kit to measure the allergen-specific IgE to the eight major inhalation allergen (cat, mite, orchard grass, ragweed, wormwood, dog, cockroach, Japan cedar).
We performed ImmunoCAP® Rapid 83 patients with allergic disease (26 males, 57 females, median aged 43 years, 53 of asthma, 43 of allergic rhinitis) in our allergy center. ImmunoCAP® Rapid results were compared with those of skin prick test (SPT).
Although total positive allergens of SPT were higher than that of ImmunoCAP® Rapid (26.5% vs 22.5%, p<0.05), there was no significantly difference of each positive allergen between two tests. The rate of ImmunoCAP® Rapid to Japan cedar was almost equivalent to SPT in all patients (68.7% vs 55.4%, p=0.07). In contrast, the rate of ImmunoCAP® Rapid to Japan cedar was higher than SPT in patients with rhinitis (90.4% vs 71.4%, p<0.05). Efficiency between ImmunoCAP® Rapid and SPT was 86.4%, sensitivity was 66.9%, and specificity was 93.4%. The reactivity of ImmunoCAP® Rapid to allergens significantly correlated with sizes of SPT (erythema: r=0.645, urticaria: r=0.657).
Although identification rate in the screening ImmunoCAP® Rapid slightly inferior to SPT, this test system was useful for diagnosis of Japan cedar and mite.
ImmunoCAP® Rapid是一种快速检测试剂盒,用于检测对八种主要吸入性过敏原(猫、螨、果园草、豚草、艾草、狗、蟑螂、日本柳杉)的过敏原特异性IgE。
我们在过敏中心对83例过敏性疾病患者(26例男性,57例女性,中位年龄43岁,53例哮喘,43例过敏性鼻炎)进行了ImmunoCAP® Rapid检测。将ImmunoCAP® Rapid的检测结果与皮肤点刺试验(SPT)的结果进行比较。
虽然SPT的总阳性过敏原高于ImmunoCAP® Rapid(26.5%对22.5%,p<0.05),但两种检测方法中各阳性过敏原之间无显著差异。在所有患者中,ImmunoCAP® Rapid对日本柳杉的检测率与SPT几乎相当(68.7%对55.4%,p=0.07)。相比之下,在鼻炎患者中,ImmunoCAP® Rapid对日本柳杉的检测率高于SPT(90.4%对71.4%,p<0.05)。ImmunoCAP® Rapid与SPT之间的效率为86.4%,敏感性为66.9%,特异性为93.4%。ImmunoCAP® Rapid对过敏原的反应性与SPT的大小显著相关(红斑:r=0.645,风团:r=0.657)。
虽然ImmunoCAP® Rapid筛查的识别率略低于SPT,但该检测系统对日本柳杉和螨的诊断有用。
