  • Title: [Allergy diagnosis: indication and evaluation].
    Author: Jarisch R.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1990; 25(4):227-30. PubMed ID: 2234986.
    Abstract:
    Allergy diagnosis is based on history, skin-test, RAST and lung functions test. For skin-test a modified PRICK-test is used. In allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma the evaluation of this test is clear, in food-allergies however 50% false positive resp. negative results are seen. Very difficult is the diagnosis in drug allergies. In atopic dermatitis and contact-eczema a patch-test has to be done too.
