Abstract

Determining the normal range of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in any population is important for diagnosis of allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to determine normal values of IgE in children living in Tehran. Two-handed and fifty six healthy children aged one month to 14 years were selected. These children had neither parasitic infections nor atopic disease. They were divided into six groups and the total serum IgE levels were measured by ELISA methods. The references range of the IgE levels were 0.1-25, 0.8-162, 0.6-184, 3-221, 2.9-501 and 2-316 KU/L in age groups as follows:
