Description:
Allergy testing measures how a person reacts to specific allergens, such as tree pollen, pet dander, foods,
medications or molds. A “positive” allergy test means that a person has a specific allergic antibody to the
substance tested. This often means that the person is allergic. Allergy tests can be conducted for most common
allergies, including plant pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, insect stings, and various foods such as
peanuts, eggs, wheat, shellfish and milk.
Allergy testing involves having a skin or blood test to find out what substance, or allergen, may trigger an allergic
response in a person. Skin tests are usually done because they are rapid, reliable, and generally less expensive than
blood tests, but either type of test may be used.
Skin prick test. This test is done by placing a drop of a solution containing a possible allergen on the skin, and a
series of scratches or needle pricks allows the solution to enter the skin. If the skin develops a red, raised itchy area
(called a wheal), it usually means that the person is allergic to that allergen. This is called a positive reaction.
Intradermal test. During this test, a small amount of the allergen solution is injected into the skin. An intradermal
allergy test may be done when a substance does not cause a reaction in the skin prick test but is still suspected as
an allergen for that person. The intradermal test is more sensitive than the skin prick test but is more often
positive in people who do not have symptoms to that allergen.
