AB  - The discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) was a breakthrough in the field of 
      Allergy and Immunology. Our understanding of mechanisms of allergic reactions and 
      the role of IgE in these disorders has paralleled to the discovery of treatment 
      modalities for patients with allergy. Apart from allergic diseases, IgE is 
      involved in pathogenesis of other disorders. Much controversy exists about the 
      control of total IgE (tIgE) levels and allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) profiles in 
      allergic individuals. This review aims at giving a comprehensive overview of IgE 
      molecule and discussing the issues related to its importance in clinical setting.
