Fig 1 Comparison of sIgE levels to peanut, egg white, and cow's milk based on S aureus colonization status. Staph refers to S aureus. Blue lines represent the sIgE values associated with greater than 95% positive predictive value of oral food challenge reaction. Patients with S aureus colonization have significantly higher sIgE levels to peanut, egg, and milk compared with those with no S aureus colonization (P < .0001). Median IgE levels to peanut were significantly higher in the MRSA versus MSSA groups (77.7 vs 38.9 kUA/L, P = .02).

Fig E1 tIgE levels according to S aureus colonization status. Patients with S aureus colonization have significantly higher tIgE levels compared with those with no S aureus colonization (P < .0001), and tIgE levels were higher in the MRSA versus MSSA groups (4498 vs 2709 kU/L, P = .002).
