Skin testing in patients with hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media – a European multicenter study

Background:  Iodinated contrast media cause both immediate and nonimmediate hypersensitivity reactions. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of skin tests in patients who have experienced such reactions.
