The absence of serum IgE antibodies indicates non ‐type 2 disease in young asthmatics

Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceClinically relevant elevation of type 2 biomarkers was seen in young asthmatics with IgE antibodies <0.35 kUA/L, but not those with IgE < 0.10 kUA/L. It seems possible to define non‐type 2 asthma through sensitive IgE‐antibody measurement.
