Variations in skin tests before and after immunotherapy in allergic asthma.
The clinical relevance of positive intradermal and prick skin tests were evaluated on 195 patients with allergic asthma subjected to prick test and intradermal tests before and after 3 years of immunization. Satisfactory clinical improvement followed immunotherapy based on the results of intradermal skin tests. Skin reactivity may change in time with or without immunotherapy.
