  • Title: Evaluation of RAST in atopic dermatitis.
    Author: Takahashi I, Akiyama T, Yamaura H, Sasaoka K, Anan S.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 1977 Dec; 4(6):217-21. PubMed ID: 15461352.
    Abstract:
    Eighty-two patients with atopic dermatitis were examined for specific IgE antibodies by RAST. A higher number of positive RAST reactions were found in patients with high serum IgE values and with coexisting asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. Positive RAST reactions against mite and house dust were found in many of these patients and even in about one-half of patients with atopic dermatitis only. The comparisons between intradermal tests and RAST were made with various allergens and the mite extract showed the best agreement between these two tests.
