Abstract
More patients were identified using boiled extracts of shrimp and American and spiny lobsters than with raw extracts. The wheal sizes of the skin test reactions and specific IgE levels were also significantly greater using boiled extracts. The use of boiled extracts seems to be more effective in diagnosing seafood allergy.
