Increased IgE Deposition in Appendicular Tissue Specimens Is Compatible with a Type I Hypersensitivity Reaction in Acute Appendicitis

Table 2

The distribution of IgE in appendicular specimens.

	(%)	Median (Q1-Q3)	Min	Max
IA	52 (39)	17.0 (4.8-29.0)	0	153
NHF	17 (13)	26 (15-44)	0	106
APA	38 (28)	28 (15.8-61.8)	1	232
AGA	27 (20)	22 (10.5-42)	1	126

IA: incidental appendectomy; NHF: normal histologic findings; APA: acute phlegmonous appendicitis; AGA: acute gangrenous appendicitis.
