Objective: Our study aimed to analyze the concordance between a nasal provocation test with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and specific IgE measurements based on real-life data.
Despite the high correlation between sIgE levels and symptoms, no serologic parameter is sufficiently accurate to distinguish between silent sensitization and clinically relevant allergy. Therefore, nasal provocation tests remain the gold standard for assessing clinical relevance in sensitization to D pteronyssinus.
