Key words: Efficiency, Cost, Allergy, IgEAbstract
The aim of the study is to determine the efficiency of the analytical petition for
diagnosis of allergy according to the specific IgE cuantification and the global costs to analize its effectiveness-cost. We have used the assays of specific IgE made in our labotatory for all year round 94. This study was made by allergen groups taking the total of the determinations and the total number of positive results for each one.
Almost half the allergen groups that we determine in our laboratory have approximately 50% of positive diagnosis. The biggest cost is produced by the food groups with almost 25% of the total cost.
