The number of people suffering from allergies is growing every year. The WHO estimates that by 2025, 50 percent of the world's population will be diagnosed with allergies. The reason for this is the deterioration of the environment and the growth of stress, which negatively affect the human immune system.
Allergic conditions manifest themselves in different ways. One of the simplest and most accurate ways is the skin diagnosis of allergies.
Intradermal allergy testing (prick-test) is a basic method of diagnosing allergic diseases. It implies the conduction of skin tests with a range of allergens to diagnose allergic diseases.
