Standardization of skin prick testing: sensitization patterns of inhalant allergens in Europe

Standardization of skin prick testing: sensitization patterns of inhalant allergens in Europe

The prevalence of allergy changes over time. It is important to monitor these changes on a regular basis. We aim to establish a scientific network of allergy leaders to evaluate allergy to inhalant allergens on a European scale. A skin prick test to a standard panel of allergens will be performed using an automated skin prick test device as an allergy test. The use of such a device will be an important factor in running this large-scale initiative in a highly standardized manner.
