Diagnosing environmental allergies: Comparison of skin-prick, intradermal, and serum specific immunoglobulin E testing
BACKGROUND Allergists commonly perform intradermal skin testing (IDST) after negative skin-prick testing (SPT) to comprehensively diagnose environmental allergic sensitization. However, with the availability of modern methods to detect serum-specific immunoglobulin E (ssIgE), it is unclear if ssIgE testing could substitute for IDST. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of ssIgE testing and IDS...

متن کاملUse of intradermal dilutional testing and skin prick testing: clinical relevance and cost efficiency.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to determine the agreement of the positive results from a multiple skin prick test (SPT) device with the ability to determine a definable endpoint through intradermal dilutional testing (IDT) to compare semiquantitatively the degree of positivity of SPT results with quantitative results from IDT and to analyze the cost of immunotherapy based on SPT compar...
متن کاملUse of the skin prick test and specific immunoglobulin E for the diagnosis of cockroach allergy.
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of allergy to cockroaches (Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana) in asthmatic and non-asthmatic children and to determine the degree of agreement between the skin prick test and serum specific IgE levels, as well as to establish the relationship between cockroach allergy and total IgE levels. METHODS A case-control study involving 76 asthmatic and ...
متن کاملIntradermal Skin Testing in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma with Negative Skin Prick Tests.
Taking medical history, physical examination, and performing some in vivo and in vitro tests are necessary for the diagnosis of allergy. Skin prick test (SPT) is considered as the standard method and first-line approach for the detection of allergic sensitization. Although mainly SPT is used for the detection of allergic sensitization, intradermal skin test (IDST) may be necessary, especially i...
