[Response to histamine in the skin prick test in children].
Allergen skin reactivity to histamine assessed by Prick testing was studied in 183 children with different allergic symptoms, aged from 4 months to 15 years. No significant difference was noted in male children versus female in different parts of the arm (antecubital fossa of the left arm, wrist of both arms) and in different allergic disorders (respiratory, pollen and skin allergy). The volume of reaction was not significantly changed in repeated applications of histamine. The peak reaction to histamine appeared 5 minutes after the application of histamine in the majority of children; it gradually declined after 10 and 15 minutes.
