Specific <scp>IgE</scp> to Chlorhexidine and Specific‐to‐Total‐IgE Ratio in Perioperative Chlorhexidine Allergy: Assessment of Clinical Significance
Summary Specificity of sIgE was lower than previously reported; the sIgE‐to‐tIgE ratio performs better and offers excellent specificity. The sIgE‐to‐tIgE ratio can be used as an alternative diagnostic if BAT is unavailable.
