UNLABELLED: Age specific IgE reference values were determined in serum of 224 children by the aid of the ImmunoCAP fluorescence enzyme immunoassay method. RESULTS: Cord blood: less than 0.35 kU/l; Till 0.5 year: less than 2.0 kU/l; 0.5-2 years: up to 3.8 kU/l; 2-5 years: up to 16.0 kU/l; 5-8 years: up to 26.2 kU/l; 8-12 years: up to 34.6 kU/l; 12-16 years: up to 26.3 kU/l. These IgE reference values can be used for the diagnosis of pathological elevated IgE concentrations in serum of children.
