Abstract
Positive sIgE results to poppy seed and morphine are not per se predictive for genuine opiate allergy and should not be used in isolation to diagnose morphine or codeine allergy. To avoid overdiagnosis, for the time being, we propose to supplement serological diagnosis with an oral provocation test. Whether BAT might help to discriminate between clinical reactivity and sensitization remains to be confirmed in larger collaborative studies.
