Relationship between meteorological variabilityand pollen sensitization over the past 10 years
Meteorological changes can influence the type and concentration of allergenic pollen in the atmosphere.
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.
Prevalence and diagnostic values of laboratory animal allergy among research personnel
Laboratory animal allergy (LAA) has not been sufficiently investigated, although LAA is a relatively common work-related condition and important occupational hazard.
A potential role of gliadin extract skin prick test in IgE-mediated wheat allergy
Wheat extracts containing both water/salt and alcohol soluble proteins may increase extract’s accuracy for diagnosing IgE-mediated wheat allergy.
Prevalence of rat and mouse sensitization in Asian patients with respiratory allergy
Skin prick test (SPT) is useful in identifying rat and mouse sensitization.
Pattern of allergic sensitization in chronic rhinitis: A 19-year retrospective study
The pattern of allergic sensitization provides data for physicians to take appropriate care of allergic patients.
Food sensitization and food allergy in allergic Thai patients from a tertiary care center in Thailand
A skin prick test (SPT) and food challenge test (OFC) are useful in identification of food sensitization and food allergy.
Skin prick testing a better predictor than blood testing for the diagnosis of peanut allergy in Chinese children
Peanut allergy is common in Chinese children, yet the most predictive diagnostic cut-offs for skin prick test (SPT) and blood testing in this population are unclear.
Sensitization to house dust mite allergens might be related to the low sensitivity of ImmunoCAP to pollen allergen
Skin prick test (SPT) and ImmunoCAP are widely used to diagnose allergies. However, previous studies showed discordance between the results of SPT and ImmunoCAP and there remains a lack of research to better understand the differences in results between the two tests.
