Utility of casein-specific IgE levels in predicting reactivity to baked milk

Jean-Christoph Caubet et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2013 Jan.

Abstract

Based on data from a large cohort of milk allergic children, our results show that measurement of casein-specific IgE is a helpful diagnostic indicator for predicting reactivity to baked milk, showing the greatest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of parameters tested.
