Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used to treat gastrointestinal
diseases. Incidence of hypersensitivity reactions to PPIs has risen, likely because of …

Background: Monitoring of the allergen sensitivity of a patient is most important for optimal
patient care and a basic prerequisite for immunomodulating treatment. The objective of this …

Background In this study, we used flow cytometry to determine the percentage of activated
basophils that expressed the CD63 marker after in vitro stimulation by different betalactam …

Abstract Background Specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and commercially available skin prick
tests have been demonstrated to be unreliable methods to diagnose pollen‐associated food …

BAT sensitivity in beta-lactam allergy was 50%, and specificity ranged from 89 to 97%. There
are several studies to validate the BAT in allergy to muscle relaxants showing a sensitivity …

Background Skin prick test (SPT) and fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) are widely
used for the diagnosis of Immunoglobulin-E (IgE)-mediated allergic disease. Basophil …

■ Abstract Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the diagnostic usefulness of a
newly developed basophil activation test (BAT) in patients allergic to Dermatophagoides …

Background In light of the pandemic of spurious penicillin allergy, correct diagnosis of
amoxicillin (AX) allergy is of great importance. The diagnosis of immediate hypersensitivity …

An accurate diagnosis of food allergy is extremely important to guide safe and yet not overly
restrictive dietary management. The cornerstone of the diagnosis of food allergy is the …

We have designed a human basophil degranulation test based on a one‐step method of
basophil staining after exposure to a specific allergen. This very simple test is now …
