  • Title: [The basophil degranulation test in the diagnosis of bee and wasp sting allergies].
    Author: Mumcuoglu Y, Wortmann F.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1979 Aug 25; 109(32):1183-7. PubMed ID: 493908.
    Abstract:
    Comparison of basophil degranulation test (BDT) with radioallergosorbent test (RAST) in 50 patients with anamnestically certain or probable hymenoptera allergy yielded practically equal results. In patients who had experienced their allergic reaction a long time ago, BDT seemed to react positively over a longer period of time than RAST. As BDT is technically easy to perform and moderate in price, it is suited to substitute RAST.
