알레르기 의심환자의 알러겐 발생빈도에 대한 연구

Abstract

Among the inhalant and foods which caused allergy, which is increasing nowaday, this research has a purpose of studying allergy-causing materials (allergen) which most frequently cause allergy. In order to conduct this research, we selected 100 hundred patients (M : F = 65 : 35) from in Kwangju Christian Hospital, who were tested through allergy multiple antigen simultaneous test (MAST) immunoblot assay (RIDA® X-Screen; r-Biopharm Co., Darmstadt, Germany). According to the test, the total IgE positive rate (above Class 2) from the inhalant is 58.3%, and that from food is 35%, respectively. This research showed that the first most allergen was the tick (Derm. farinae/Derm. pteronyssinus), the second most was housedust, and the third was the hair of pets such as cats and dogs; 65%, 35%, 26.3% in inhalant panel, and 52.5%, 40%, 50% in food panel, respectively. Thease allergens newly added to inhalant and food panels were not contributable to the detection of specifical allergen. We needs further improvement to be used as primary screening or quantitative test for allergy.
