Avidity Studies in Anisakis simplex-Associated Allergic Diseases

Table 1

Immunoglobulins and avidities in GAA (gastroallergic anisakiasis) and CU+ (Anisakis simplex sensitization-associated chronic urticarial).

	Total IgE; (kU/L)	Anisakis IgE; (kU/L)	Anisakis IgG; (kU/L)	Anisakis IgG4; (kU/L)	AvIgE	AvIgG
GAA	487; (98−1142)	48.7; (9.2−326)	17.8; (12.6−42.2)	1.930; (752−15842)	78.4; (71.4−88.6)	58.2; (48.2−70.5)
CU+	288; (117−690)	5.7; (3.7−11.9)	7.8; (7.2−15.0)	0.370; (95−910)	82.4; (74.4−98.0)	49.4; (38.0−57.1)
𝑃=	0.29	0.005	0.01	0.001	0.095	0.035

Values are given as median (± interquartill range) and statistical significance is given for comparison between both studied groups. AvIgE: avidity index of specific IgE. AvIgG: avidity index of specific IgG.
