Being sensitised to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SEs) is significantly associated with an increased risk for having severe allergic diseases. 

73 patients of allergic diseases aged 5-54 years were enrolled in the study. We assessed the prevalence of specific immunoglobulins E to SEs A (SEA- IgE), B (SEB- IgE), TSST (SETSST- IgE) by Immunocap, Phadia. Criteria for inclusion in the study: severe course of allergic diseases: atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis (AR), bronchial asthma (BA).   SEs was detected in 16 patients, 21.9%: BA 36%, in patients with AR 14%, AD 12%. In patients with SETSST- IgE combined with epidermal and household sensitization, with SEA- IgE pollen sensitization. In patients with cutaneous manifestations, SEB- IgE prevailed. SETSST- IgE was on patients with AR. Positive correlations SEswere obtained with the duration of the disease, the presence of chronic infection, polypous rhinosinusopathy.
