Analysis of the correlation between moth antigen and allergic diseases
Objective To investigate the relationship between moth antigen and allergic diseases. Method Three hundred allergy patients were practiced moth skin test and detected serum anti moth sIgE. Results Of there hundred patients, 94(31.33% of all) cases were positive in skin test, 131 cases(43.66% of all)were positive in sIgE. Conclusions The positive rates of both skin test and sIgE detection of moth antigen in allergy patients are significantly higher than that in control group .This experiment shows that moth antigen is an ordinary allergen in allergic diseases .The two methods above are effective in detecting moth allergen and in good relation( P 0.005,χ 2=1106.22).The positive rates of the two methods have significant difference ( P 0.005, χ 2= 14.24 ).It suggests that skin test is affected by other factors and sIgE detection is more specific, safer and reliable.
