A and B, Correlations between IgE responses to α-Gal and I ricinus (Fig 1, A) and I ricinus and A americanum (Fig 1, B) in Swedish patients with red meat allergy. C, IgE reactivity to α-Gal in patients with red meat allergy compared with that in healthy blood donors and patients with Lyme disease expressed as kilounits of allergen per liter. Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to assess statistical significance: *P < .001. Solid bars denote median values. D, Prevalence of IgE reactivity to α-Gal in healthy blood donors compared with that in patients with Lyme disease.
