Total serum IgE, Phadiatop(R), and the skin prick test (SPT) are commonly used to diagnose atopic diseases. However, no large study has ever been done to test their diagnostic efficiency. We studied the diagnostic value of these three atopic markers in 8329 well-randomized adults from the Swiss Population Registry. The prevalence of current allergic asthma (CAA) was 1.8% and of current allergic rhinitis (CAR) 16.3%. The prevalences of positive Phadiatop, positive SPT (at least, one out of eight SPT to common aeroallergens with a wheal of 13 mm), and positive total IgE (IgE greater than or equal to 100 kU/1) were 29, 23, and 23%, respectively. To diagnose CAA and CAR, the sensitivity of Phadiatop was significantly higher than that of SPT (72.5% vs 65.4%, 77.1% vs 68.4% respectively; P
