delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth) reaction measured by skin testing is an important indicator for evaluation of cellular immune response in leishmaniasis. skin testing in leishmaniasis, known as leishmanin or montenegro test, is used normally for immunoepidemiological studies and for diagnosis. in cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl), the skin test is positive during the active phase of disease and r...

ige- mediated food allergy affects 6-8% of children. our study aimed to define the correlations between the results obtained with skin prick tests (spts) using commercial extracts and fresh foods, and the correlations between these result and those obtained with specific ige (sige) and/ or challenge. children aged from 2 months to 6 years were recruited prospectively. overall 571 children were ...

delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction measured by skin testing, is an important tool for evaluation of cellular immune response in leishmaniasis and has been used recently as an indication of exposure to infection. skin testing in leishmania infection needs a standard reagent with high specificity, sen sitivity, and potency. in the present work, a soluble leishmanin, and three whole parasite p...

allergy diagnosis needs to be improved in polysensitized patients due to the existence of possible confounding factors in this type of patients. component resolved diagnosis (crd) is a new concept in the investigation of polysensitized patients. the aim of this study was to evaluate if the utilization of immunocap isac improve the diagnosis of the polysensitized allergic rhinitis patients. skin...

cell-mediated immunity (cmi) plays an important role in resistance against leishmaniasis. delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth) reaction measured by skin testing is a practical method of evaluation of cmi and is used as an aid to diagnosis and for epidemiological assessment of exposure to leishmanial infection. skin testing in leishmaniasis, generally known as montenegro or leishmanin test, requi...

component-resolved  diagnosis (crd) using microarray technology has recently been introduced  with the  aim to  improve diagnosis of allergy. the  aim of this study was to compare performance of this allergen microarray to those of an established extract-based skin prick testing (spt). 45  patients  with  allergic rhinitis  were studied  (16 children  and  29  adults). spt  to dermatophagoides ...

individual approaches to the diagnosis and management of penicillin allergy are practiced    by clinicians.   this cross-sectional survey of physicians was aimed at exploring their ways of dealing with diagnosis and management of penicillin g allergy.   of the 235 respondents, 63% believed patients’ self-reported history of penicillin allergy and avoided using penicillin g;     97% do so for pa...
