Concordance of lateral flow and skin prick tests in the assessment of allergen sensitisation in the epidemiological field in children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The presence of autoantibodies reacting with the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRIalpha) usually indicates a more severe form of chronic urticaria (CU). Previously, we showed an increased lymphocyte reactivity in CU patients; however, the relation between enhanced cellular immunity and the presence of ...
