The most common allergens according to skin prick test: The role of wheal diameter in clinical relevancy.

摘要: The skin prick test (SPT) could be applied as a useful in vivo method for the detection of sensitization epidemiological and diagnostic studies if wheal size is ideally evaluated. We focused on SPT to identify pattern common inhalant food allergens. In this cross-sectional study, results were obtained from total 972 allergic patients. Common allergen extracts selected according type diseases, geographical pattern. with allergens was performed patients atopic dermatitis (AD) chronic urticaria (CU). A 461 male (47.4%) 511 female (52.6%) participated study (median age: 31 years). majority individuals affected rhinitis (AR) (n = 624) asthma 224); while 129 67 suffered AD CU, respectively. most aeroallergens Russian thistle (52.1%) lamb's quarter (50.7%) largest diameter. significantly different between AR (P<.001). addition, significant difference detected diameter response (P = .001). Shrimp (23.6%) Peanut (22.5%) caused CU. Having mind weed pollens including quarter, preventive strategies, such as, removing unwanted weeds or preventing them growing, avoidance, specific immunotherapy may crucial better disease control.
