| Abstrakt: | Due to the scale of the phenomenon, food allergy constitute a significant health problem and significantly impair the quality of life of patients. Differential diagnostics, including skin tests, sIgE detection tests, basophil and mast cell activation tests as well as double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge tests, is the gold standard in the diagnosis of food allergy. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the potential use of nasal provocation test in the diagnosis of food allergy. Allergen dose, protocol standardization, assessment of subjective complaints and objectivization of test results are important factors determining the applicability of provocation tests.
