IgE assessment is a crucial step in allergy diagnosis. It may be performed by skin prick test (SPT) or serum IgE (sIgE) assay. Therefore, this study compared these two methods in a real-life setting. METHODS This retrospective study included 793 subjects, who were referred to the Allergy Department for respiratory allergy during 2014. Inclusion criteria were i) documented diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR), and/or allergic asthma, and/or allergic conjunctivitis. SPT and sIgE assay were performed for 5 allergens, such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (D1), cat (E1), Parietaria officinalis (W19), cypress (T23), and dog (E5), as they are the most common in our geographic area. RESULTS Using a positive SPT result as the target condition, remarkably high and statistically significant values of AUC, ranging from 0.84 to 0.94, were found. On the basis of the Youden index the following optimal classification threshold values were also computed D1 = 0.22, E1 = 0.26, W19 = 0.61, T23 = 0.25, E5 = 0.34. These values allowed to define a set of sensitivity/specifity estimates ranging from 0.75 to 0.93 and from 0.83 to 0.93, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that SPT and sIgE are two tests that are rather concordant, but with different sensitivity and specificity distinct for each allergen. In clinical practice, both tests should be used depending on clinical history features and obtained findings. © Dustri-Verlag Dr. K. Feistle.BACKGROUND Metal allergy is frequently seen. Orthopedic metal implants, such as external fixators or other stainless implants, contain chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which can cause type IV hypersensitivity. CASE SUMMARY A patient diagnosed with open comminuted tibiofibular fracture
