Repeat skin testing for aeroallergen immediate hypersensitivity in an atopic patient population.
A retrospective study of repeat intradermal skin testing with aeroallergens carried out on atopic subjects with allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis and/or asthma, after a mean interval of 3.5 years, showed that an increase in the number of allergens reacted to by an individual patient correlated with age or with worsening of symptoms.
