Systemic anaphylaxis immediately following delayed hypersensitivity skin tests.
Delayed hypersensitivity skin tests are performed frequently for other than primary immunologic disorders. Systemic anaphylaxis occurred during delayed hypersensitivity skin testing on a healthy, non-atopic individual. This reaction appeared to be IgE mediated. Anaphylactic recovery sets must be readily available whenever such testing is performed.
