Systemic reactions from allergy skin testing: 0.4% for skin prick testing, 3.2% for intradermal

Skin testing is the diagnostic cornerstone for allergies and is considered extremely safe, carrying only a small risk of systemic reactions.

A prospective study included 1,500 patients at the University of South Florida and aimed to determine the 12-month incidence of systemic reactions (SRs) to skin prick testing (SPT) and intradermal skin testing (ST). Epinephrine (0.2 mL of a 1:1,000 dilution) was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid as soon as any remote signs or symptoms occurred.

Experts strongly discourage the practice of food-specific IgG testing (CSACI)

The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI) is very concerned about the increased marketing of food-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) testing towards the general public over the past few years, supposedly as a simple means by which to identify “food sensitivity”, food intolerance or food allergies. In the past, this unvalidated form of testing was usually offered by alternative or complementary health providers, but has now become more widely available with direct-to-consumer marketing through a nationwide chain of pharmacies.
