Diagnostic significance of late cutaneous allergic responses and their correlation with radioallergosorbent test

Clinical Allergy
K Agarwal, O Zetterström

Abstract

In order to study the clinical significance of late cutaneous allergic responses 178 intracutaneous tests were done on the forearm of forty-three allergic patients with perennial allergy and twelve patients with pollen allergy. The allergen concentration was chosen to give a moderate immediate response with a weal diameter of about 15 mm. Late cutaneous allergic responses (LCAR) were elicited in eighty-two intracutaneous tests in thirty-one patients with perennial allergy and in nine intracutaneous tests in eight patients with pollen allergy, with almost all the allergens frequently responsible for allergy in this area. Their occurrence was found to be related to the size of the immediate reaction. Almost all the patients showing LCAR had positive provocation tests and were clinically sensitive to the corresponding allergen.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
