Three hundred recruits were classified as either allergic or nonallergic to inhalant allergens on the basis of history, physical examination, skin testing, and RAST. Forty-nine (16.3%) were classified as allergic as they were affected by oculorhinitis and/or asthma. This diagnosis was compared with results obtained with PRIST and with a new commercially available multi-RAST test for inhalant allergy, Phadiatop (Pharmacia). Sixty subjects (20%), including all 49 allergic subjects, scored positive in the Phadiatop assay (100% sensitivity) while PRIST (cut-off 220 IU/mL) identified only 20/49 allergics (40.8% sensitivity). The correlation between RAST and Phadiatop was excellent. Phadiatop is much more sensitive than PRIST; furthermore, Phadiatop is easier, less expensive, and as reliable as RAST for use in mass screening programs.
根据病史、体格检查、皮肤试验和放射变应原吸附试验(RAST),300名新兵被分为对吸入性变应原过敏或不过敏两类。49名(16.3%)因患眼鼻炎和/或哮喘而被归类为过敏。将这一诊断结果与用PRIST及一种新的市售吸入性过敏多RAST试验Phadiatop(法玛西亚公司)所获得的结果进行了比较。60名受试者(20%),包括所有49名过敏受试者,在Phadiatop试验中呈阳性(敏感性100%),而PRIST(临界值220 IU/mL)仅识别出49名过敏者中的20名(敏感性40.8%)。RAST与Phadiatop之间的相关性极佳。Phadiatop比PRIST敏感得多;此外,在大规模筛查项目中使用时,Phadiatop操作更简便、成本更低,且与RAST一样可靠。
