Although Egg SpIgE demonstrated the highest sensitivity, its low specificity makes it less reliable for accurately identifying non-allergic individuals. In contrast, BAT, with its highest specificity and moderate sensitivity, aligns more closely with the oral provocation test in accurately diagnosing egg allergy.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>When comparing the positivity rates of Egg SpIgE, BAT, and SPT according to allergy types, IgE-mediated allergies showed significantly higher positivity rates. BAT demonstrated high specificity and moderate sensitivity in both IgE-mediated and mixed-type allergies, making it the most compatible test with the oral provocation test for the accurate diagnosis of egg allergy. Given that this test is currently used only for research purposes in our country, it is recommended that BAT be more widely adopted in clinical practice in accordance with guideline recommendations.</p>","PeriodicalId":7536,"journal":{"name":"Allergologia et immunopathologia","volume":"53 1","pages":"32-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
