PHADIATOP INFANT (PAEDIATRIC) is a mix of food and pneumoalergens.Phadiatop adult battery of allergens is different than the phadiatop paediatric. ImmunoCAP Phadiatop is a blood test designed to differentiate between atopic and non-atopic patients. Results indicate high or low probability for atopy. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not caused by common environmental allergens. ImmunoCAP Phadiatop is a blood test designed to differentiate between atopic and non-atopic patients. Results indicate high or low probability for atopy. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not caused by common environmental allergens. The Phadia Phadiatop test is an allergy screening test with excellent sensitivity and specificity for inhalant allergy. It uses an ImmunoCAP with a balanced mixture of representative allergens, including grasses, trees, weeds, cat, dog, mites and molds. A positive result indicates that the patient is allergic to one or more of these allergens; a negative indicates the patient is not allergic to inhalant allergens. Total Serum Immunoglobulin E or IgE was the original screening test for allergy, but has been superseded by newer more specific tests. However a Total IgE level exceeding 100kU/l is still highly suggestive of atopy or allergy in adults. Total IgE has a good predictive value in children under 3 years of age and may be used as a screening allergy test in this age-group. We used to measure Total Cord IgE on newborn babies umbilical cord blood at birth as a predictor of allergy, but this wasn
