Abstract

Multiple tests are available to determine food and aero‐allergen sensitization (1,2), but it is unclear if distinct sensitization patterns can be determined by using a combination of three testing modalities; skin prick test (SPT), specific IgE test and component resolved diagnostic tests to characterize or identify certain clinical phenotypes. This is a novel paper utilizing sensitization clusters (SPT, specific IgE tests and component resolved diagnostics) in an unselected cohort of 10/11 year‐old children and its association with asthma, eczema, rhinitis and IgE‐mediated food allergy. A birth cohort recruited in 2001 (Isle of Wight), was followed up prospectively to 10 years of age (3) (n = 827).
