Evaluation of commercial skin prick test solutions for selected occupational allergens

Skin prick testing (SPT) is an important step in the diagnosis of IgE‐mediated occupational allergic diseases. The outcome of SPT is related to the quality of allergen extracts. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess different commercially available SPT solutions for selected occupational allergens.
