[Comparative results of skin tests and the analysis of specific antibodies by the RAST method in children up to 3 years of age with obstructive bronchitis].

In 55 children (age range 4-34 months) with obstructive bronchitis skin prick tests and determination of specific antibody levels to common allergens (IgE class-RAST) were carried out. In 51.9% (D. pteronyssimus) and 91.8% (milk) of the subjects the results were comparable. The mean comparable level was 79.2%. The results may imply the role of skin prick tests as first line diagnosis of allergy in youngest children.
