Eosinophilia is also a common finding with greater than 90% of patients having eosinophil elevations greater than two standard deviations above the normal mean. [ 18 ]
IgE also plays a pivotal role in responses to allergens, such as anaphylactic reactions to drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in desensitization immunotherapy. IgE is typically the least abundant isotype: blood serum IgE levels in a non-atopic individual are only 0.05% of the Ig concentration, [10] compared to 75% for the IgGs at
