Fig 1 Receiver-operating characteristic curve evaluating the performance of max-AEC as a parameter for OITIGER diagnosis. Max-AEC values were categorized according to patient symptom status, and an empirical receiver-operating characteristic curve was generated. The asterisk (*) denotes the point of optimal sensitivity (85%) and specificity (73%), corresponding to a max-AEC value of 1140.

Fig E2 Eosinophil-specific increase during OIT. The percent of the total white blood cells at baseline and at max-AEC was tabulated for each respective cell type, and these results were averaged for OITIGER (n = 28) and asymptomatic patients (n = 251). Eos, Eosinophils; Neutro, neutrophils; Lymph, lymphocytes; Mono, monocytes.
