This short question series examines the use of total and allergen specific IgE, mostly in the context of investigation of allergy. The documents found provide fairly close consensus and several comment on the need to identify the appropriate situations for their use. There appears to be increasingly limited need for the measurement of total IgE, particularly in the investigation of allergy.

There is also a topic on Lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils.
