Abstract

Severe meat allergy with anaphylaxis may be caused by sensitization to alpha-gal. Levels of alpha-gal sensitization that correlate with high risk of meat allergy are currently unknown. We have identified an area with a high prevalence of reported red meat allergy which offered the opportunity to evaluate the diagnostic value of IgE antibody tests. To determine levels of alpha-gal IgE and alpha-gal:total IgE ratio in a large cohort of subjects with challenge-proven meat allergy compared with control subjects from the same environment, we conducted fieldwork assessing 131 participants who reported adverse reactions to meat, and 26 control subjects, by questionnaires, IgE sensitization to alpha-gal and oral food challenge to beef sausage. Eighty-four participants were diagnosed with alpha-gal allergy. Alpha-gal IgE ranged between 0.7 and 344.5 kU/L. Alpha-gal:total IgE ratio ranged from 0.1% to 67.6%. Logistic regression analysis showed both alpha-gal IgE and alpha-gal:total IgE ratio strongly correlated with meat allergy, with AUC of 0.95. The values giving the best correct classification were IgE of 2.00 kU/L and ratio of 0.75%. The value above which there is a 95% probability of meat allergy is IgE>5.5 kU/L and ratio of 2.12%. ...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
