Comment utiliser le Diallertest®Â ?

Cow's milk allergy in children may involve several immunological mechanisms, IgE-mediated, responsible for immediate reactions, and non IgE-mediated, responsible for delayed or semi-delayed reactions. Clinical symptoms in children are largely dominated by atopic dermatitis and digestive manifestations, most of the time related to non IgE-mediated reactions, so that classical allergologic investigations, prick tests and measurement of serum specific IgE, are often negative. In these situations dominated by delayed or semi-delayed manifestations of milk allergy, atopy patch tests such as Diallertest®, a ready-to-use one, may facilitate the diagnosis.
