Atopy
Signs and symptoms
Atopic sensitization is considered IgE positivity or prick test positivity to any common food or air born allergen. Atopic conditions are considered: atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic asthma. The likelihood of having asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis together is 10 times higher than could be expected by chance. Atopy is more common among individuals with a number of different conditions, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
