Abstract

Purpose of Review

The impact of new technologies, especially multiplexed molecular allergy diagnostics based on allergen arrays, on the management of complex patients with respiratory allergies has been important.

Recent Findings

Currently, the detailed characteristics of the IgE profile of the patient, such as sensitization to genuine or cross-reacting components or the sensitization to potentially harmful allergens, allow an allergist to tailor treatment in the context of precision medicine rules.

Summary

A number of relevant articles have been published in recent years on this topic, and, in this review, the new added values of allergen array-based diagnostics are reported.
