  • Title: [Diagnostic value of skin tests in children with bronchial asthma and/or atopic eczema].
    Author: Winkler S, Pambor M, Ballke EH, Wiersbitzky S.
    Journal: Kinderarztl Prax; 1991 Mar; 59(3):85-7. PubMed ID: 2056671.
    Abstract:
    Positive test results with relevance to the patients' history resp. illness' development were seen in all age groups of patients suffering from asthma. In cases with atopic dermatitis, but without asthma or bronchitis, positive test reactions were not relevant; in these cases hyperreagibility of the skin is supposed. The results confirmed that cutaneous testing is indicated in children suffering from asthma, even in those cases with associated atopic dermatitis provided that testing is carried out in lesion-free skin-area and beyond exacerbation of eczema. Test-results should be interpreted only with regard to the patients' history, clinical picture and its development.
