- Abstract
Because TM-specific IgE was found to be a good predictor of shrimp allergy in HDM-allergic individuals,1 singleplex assays with shrimp TM found their way into serological routine diagnosis. Notably, 30% of the patients recognized Pen m 4 and 16% showed exclusive IgE reactivity to this SCBP with confirmed clinical relevance.3 Therefore, we consider Pen m 4 as important as Pen m 1 for the diagnosis of shrimp allergy in Central Europe.
