Venom allergy testing: is a graded approach necessary?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many institutions recommend a stepwise approach to intradermal testing for venom allergy. This is costly and uncomfortable for the patient. The rationale for this approach is the risk of potential adverse reactions to testing with the maximal dose alone.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of a single-step approach to venom allergy testing.
