Serum total IgE (tIgE) is frequently used in the diagnosis of allergic diseases in Mosul city and Iraq. However, neither normal nor elevated levels can exclude or confirm the diagnosis of these diseases. Here, we tried to evaluate the validity of tIgE in the diagnosis of allergic asthma(AS), allergic rhinitis(AR) and atopic dermatitis(AD) in a sample of Mosul population, to set up an optimum cut-off value for diagnosis of these diseases and to study its correlation with different parameters that might affect its level. 38 patients with AS, 27 with AR, 46 with AD and 45 healthy controls were included in this study. tIgE were determined by ELISA and compared between allergic diseases and controls. Blood eosinophilia was ascertained and correlated with tIgE levels. The geometric means of tIgE were 316.87 IU/ml (95% CI: 234.69 to 427.82) in AS, 262.07 IU/ml (95% CI:174.24 to 394.18) in AR and 270.48 IU/ml (95% CI:202.57 to 361.16) in AD compared to 16.90 IU/ml (95% CI:12.32 to 23.18) in healthy controls. tIgE in allergic diseases was significantly increased in comparison to healthy controls ( P  &lt;.0001). Female gender influenced tIgE in AS, but not in AR or AD. tIgE predominated in younger age groups; however, no significant difference was found between younger and older groups. Optimum values for tIgE with best discriminative accuracy were 77 IU/ml for AS and 81 IU/ml for AR and AD. Eosinophils count appeared to be a useful adjunct, and correlate well with tIgE in the diagnosis of allergic diseases.
