ABSTRACT
Although the gold standard for diagnosis of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy is an oral food challenge, clinically relevant biomarkers of IgE sensitization, including serum-specific IgE and skin prick testing, can aid in diagnosis. Clinically useful values have been defined for individual foods. More recently, specific IgE to particular protein components has provided additional diagnostic value. In summary, food allergy diagnostics to evaluate IgE sensitization are clinically useful and continue to evolve to improve evaluation of IgE-mediated food allergies.
