Selection of skin tests in childhood asthma

G Russell et al. Br J Dis Chest. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

Skin tests have been applied to 161 asthmatic children seen consecutively at a paediatric respiratory clinic. To demonstrate whether a child's asthma is associated with a positive skin test it is suggested that only four extracts need be applied: house dust, house dust mite (D. farinae), grass pollens and a control.
