Skin prick test and serum specific IgE in predicting dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis diagnosed from nasal provocation test in chronic rhinitis children
Allergen skin prick test (SPT) and serum specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) are effective diagnostic tests in allergic rhinitis (AR), however, positive results may not always correlate with clinical allergies. A nasal provocation test (NPT) can identify the causative allergen for immunotherapy, but it’s not routinely performed.
