title: A vascular test to detect iodide hypersensitivity (intolerance).
abstract: Reliance upon conventional skin testing to detect hypersensitivity to iodides has proved unreliable. Present intravenous challenge methods often are inadequate and add an additional risk factor. This report describes an in vivo testing procedure that is safer because, other than for experimental corroboration of this method by direct iodide challenges, the use of non-iodide containing challenge material can be substituted to accurately detect possible iodide intolerance. Thus this procedure uses a parameter of measurement that does not require the eliciting of clinical symptoms by direct iodide challenge.
