[Evaluation of the CIS Allergen Screen I kit versus the Pharmacia Cap System and skin tests in the diagnosis of respiratory allergy].
This study has given evaluation of a new pneumallergen diagnostic test CIS Allergen Screen I in comparison with Pharmacia Cap System and intradermal skin test. Five allergens (Mite (DPT) D1, Mite (DF) D2, Cat E1, Dog E2, Orchard grass G3) have been studied with in vitro tests (CIS Allergen Screen I Cap System) and the results obtained gave on patient to patient comparison a sensitivity of 91%, a specificity of 100% and on allergen comparison a sensitivity of 84%, a specificity of 99% and an accuracy of 93%. Compared with intradermal skin test for two allergens (Mite (DT) D1 and Orchard grass G3), CIS Allergen Screen I have good results to G3 but less specificity and sensitivity to D1. These results could be to depend on different standardisation between allergen extracts especially for Mite.
