The occurrence of fish/shrimp allergy was confirmed in the challenge test or according to the history; the sensitisation to molecular components with ISAC Multiplex testing was analysed. Altogether 100 atopic dermatitis patients were examined. The food allergy to fish was confirmed in 13 patients (13%), while shrimp allergy occurred in 6 patients (6%).In patients with allergy to fish, the significantly higher occurrence of sensitisation to Asp f 1, Asp f 6, Alt a 6, Der f 1, Der f 2, Der p 1, Der p 2, Lep d 2 and Blo t 5 was confirmed. In patients with food allergy to shrimps, the significantly higher occurence of sensitisation to Asp f 6, Alt a 6, Cla h 8, Bla g 1 and Bla g 5 was confirmed also.
