Abstract: Allergic diseases are among the most prevalent diseases worldwide and their burden on healthcare systems continues to increase. Confirmation of allergen sensitization and the identification of causal allergens are essential for developing management strategies for these maladies. This paper provides an updated introduction of the most commonly used detection methods, both in vivo and in vitro, in the diagnosis of type I IgE-mediated allergy and its clinical significance.

Key words: Allergens, Immunoglobulin E, Skin tests, Serologic tests, Diagnosis
