| Popis: | 1.1. In both atopic and nonatopic individuals, skin tests with histamine produced larger reactions in the antecubital fossa than on the arm or forearm. A similar but even greater difference was observed in atopic subjects when tested in this manner with atopens to which they were sensitive. 2.2. Skin tests with histamine performed in the popliteal space in both atopic and nonatopic individuals showed a pronounced increase in reactivity as compared to sites either above or below this space. The differences were even more pronounced when comparative skin tests were made with atopens. |
