Abstract:
:Fifty nine asthmatic children were assessed by skin tests (prick-tests) (TC), specific serum IgE level (R.A.S.T.) and bronchial provocation tests (TPB) with house dust, mites, grass pollen, animal scales and moulds. The concordance of the skin and R.A.S.T. tests with the provocation test, chosen for reference and their diagnostic value was analysed using decision matrices. There was a significant connection between the results of the three tests. The concordance level was only moderate not passing 68%. By comparison to TPB there were numerous false positive Prick-tests and false negative R.A.S.T. The negative predictive value of TC was satisfactory. The most discriminatory threshold for the positive R.A.S.T. was the class 3 response. These results allow the following diagnostic possibilities to be considered. For a common allergen a negative prick-test (TC) would lead to the end of the investigations except for certain particular cases; for an allergen of low prevalence a positive TC should be taken into account, and completing this with RAST and TPB. One could envisage a reduction in the number of TPB and R.A.S.T. performed, reserving them for cases where a discordance between the clinical history and the T.C.
