  Author(s): Joseph M. Baló-Banga*, Martina Kádas, Adrienn Kása-Kovács and Adrienne Vajda

Immediate, delayed-type immune reactions and non-immune adverse events have to be differentiated.

Methods: Forty-seven patients after mild intermediate and severe adverse events were tested in three consecutive days. Skin prick tests with 2 to 5 undiluted media were followed at 24 hours by intradermal testing of 2 different concentrations each (10-2m and 10-3m). The results were red after both 20 and 70 minutes and at 24 hours. On day three one negative medium selected was 1/3 diluted and given intravenously under close observation. .. View more»
