Managing allergic rhinitis.... In perennial rhinitis, identifying allergens by history may be difficult. In these circumstances, carefully performed immediate hypersensitivity skin testing(prick skin tests) is a quick, inexpensive, and safe way to identify the presence of allergen-specific IgE. In sensitive patients, testing with selected extracts of tree, grass, or weed pollen, mold, house dust mites and/or animal allergens results in a wheal and flare reaction at the skin test site within 20 minutes. 1, record 1, English, - skin%20test

A rapidly occurring (within 30 min) antibody-mediated reaction arising from the release of histamine and other vasoactive substances. The antibody (an immunoglobulin, usually of IgE type) fixes to cells, especially mast cells. On contact with antigen, the cell is disrupted and vasoactive substances are released and produce anaphylaxis. 2, record 2, English, - immediate%20hypersensitivity%20reaction
