Abstract
Number of subjects suffered from allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis has increased dramatically in recent years, as to reach 30-40 % of the whole population. It is quite important to identify newly-onset allergic patients and/or subjects with high-risks to develop diseases, which in turn early introduction of preventive measures and of optimal medications possible. From this point of view, an attempt will be made in this brief communication, to propose that IgE antibody measurements to search and determine causative allergen (s) should be incorporated in multiphasic health checkup systems.
