Abstract: A total of 2 769 children with allergic disease were admitted from October 2010 to December in Ningbo Women & Children′s Hospital. Fourteen kinds of serum specific-IgE were detected by immunoblotting method. Among the 2 769 children, the total positive rate of sIgE was 76.0%(2 105/2 769). The sIgE positive rate in males (80.0%, 1 344/1 679) was significantly higher than that of females(69.8%, 761/1 090)(P<0.05). The top three allergens were dust mites(33.2%), milk(12.6%) and fungi(12.6%). There were statistical differences of positive reaction to dust mites among 4 seasons(19.4%, 33.9%, 39.3%, 36.0%)(P<0.05). Significant differences were found in the positive rates of dust mites, milk, fungi, and egg among the age groups(P<0.05). The level of dust mite specific IgE were mainly in grade 3-6(613/918, 66.8%).
