Determination of the Sensitivity and Specificity of Prick Test Betula Verrucosa

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Immune System Diseases
Registration Number
NCT02527187
Lead Sponsor
Inmunotek S.L.
Brief Summary

The main objective is to evaluate the concentration of allergen extract of Betula verrucosa that elicit a papule equivalent to that produced by a solution of histamine dihydrochloride 10 mg / ml in size.

Detailed Description

Open, prospective, unblinded and non-randomized biological assay. Each patient was tested with four concentrations of allergen and with a histamine and saline solution as positive and negative controls, respectively.
