Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the hypersensitivity to grass pollens (gxl) and to wheat (f4), rye ff5) and soya (fl 4) in children with allergic disease. Specific IgE was determined by the FEIA CAP- System. Hypersensitivity was expressed in classes from 1 to 6. Specific IgE antibodies against grass (gxl) in 944 children with allergic disease, aged from 6 months to 18 years were detected. At the same time in 532 of these children - specific IgE to wheat and rye and in 122 children specific IgE to soya were also estimated. We detected very high correlation between the hypersensitivity to grass and the presence of specific IgE to wheat, rye (r=0.96, p<0.01) and soya (r=0.90, p<0.05).
