Abstract
This paper argues that with a certain allergen profile of airborne and food allergens and the use of total IgE-antibody levels, combined with the number of allergens positive at test represent a powerful tool to identify allergic disease in childhood. The allergens featured in such a profile will be dependent on the subject's age and geographical location.Keywords
