Sensitization to Per a 2 of the American cockroach correlates with more clinical severity among airway allergic patients in Taiwan.

Sensitization to Per a 2 correlates with more severe airway allergy and elevated proinflammatory chemokines.

This may help in selecting target allergens for component resolved diagnosis and immunotherapeutic agents.
