PD range was 0.1\u201325\u2003g. Fifty\u2010four percent of the maize allergic subjects had a PD that was 2.5\u2003g; two subjects reacted to 100\u2003mg of maize. Comparison of maize specific IgE levels and skin test results to the challenge results revealed the following (specific IgE level\/skin testing): sensitivity 1.00\/0.846, specificity 0.077\/0.384, positive predictive value 0.520\/0.579, and negative predictive value 1.00\/0.714.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> Maize is a cause of IgE\u2010mediated allergic reactions to foods in adults and children. Nearly half of the subjects recruited were confirmed by challenge to be allergic to maize. Twenty\u2010three percent of the positive challenge patients manifested symptoms that involved two organ systems, thus fulfilling the criteria for maize induced anaphylaxis. Maize is allergenic and can pose a risk for symptomatic food allergy at a dose of 100\u2003mg.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2222.2008.03094.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,5]],"date-time":"2008-09-05T07:49:49Z","timestamp":1220600989000},"page":"1943-1949","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Maize food allergy: a double\u2010blind placebo\u2010controlled study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Scibilia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
