Making the diagnosis of allergy.
A thorough and continuing history is the primary means for establishing the diagnosis of inhalant allergy. Confirmation of offending allergens may be accomplished by either skin tests or in vitro methods. Clinical judgment is necessary to draw appropriate inferences from the allergy history, confirmatory physical examination, adjunctive tests and specific allergen skin tests or in vitro assays.
