BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated that birch pollen-related foods can cause late eczematous responses in birch pollen-sensitized patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). However, suitable markers to predict birch pollen-related food allergy in patients with AD are still lacking. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the correlation of the results from ImmunoCAP® fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) singleplex and ImmunoCAP® immuno solid-phase allergen chip (ISAC) multiplex system in AD patients and investigated the diagnostic validity of allergen microarray analysis, measuring specific IgE (sIgE) with ImmunoCAP® ISAC to predict birch pollen-related food allergy in patients with AD. METHODS: A total of 19 children and adults with AD, existing IgE-mediated birch pollen sensitization, and suspected birch pollen-related food allergy underwent a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) in the clinical routine. Total and sIgE levels to birch pollen, Bet v 1, Bet v 2, and birch pollen-related foods (apple, carrot, celery, and hazelnut) were determined prior to the DBPCFC by ImmunoCAP®-FEIA. Additionally, allergen microarray ImmunoCAP® ISAC analysis was performed. Data were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Twelve out of 19 patients (63% responders) experienced an allergic reaction upon DBPCFC. Overall, 7 patients (37%) developed a significant deterioration of AD with a median increase of 12.4 points in the scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index (range 10.0-15.7). Oral allergy syndrome was the predominant immediate-type symptom (n = 11/12 responders). There were no differences in sensitization frequencies regarding allergens of the pathogenesis-related protein family 10 between responders and non-responders. In all patients, correlation of IgE levels determined with ImmunoCAP® ISAC and ImmunoCAP®-FEIA, respectively, was significant with high correlation coefficients regarding birch pollen allergen extract, rBet v 1, and rBet v 2 (rs > 0.8, p < 0.001) and lower but also significant correlation coefficients regarding food allergens (rs < 0.8, p < 0.05-<0.001). CONCLUSION: ImmunoCAP® ISAC microarray allows displaying a differentiated sensitization profile in birch pollen-sensitized patients with AD. However, IgE-mediated sensitization against birch pollen-related allergens revealed by the allergen multiplex system does not predict late eczematous reactions upon DBPCFC with birch pollen-related foods.
