Skin wheal measure for each tested solution. For each allergen tested, 2 variables, positive SPT and negative SPT were defined. A SPT reaction was considered positive when the mean wheal diameter was >3 mm. A SPT reaction ≤3 mm was considered negative.
Time frame: For each subject, the study consisted in one visit of about 60 minutes including skin prick-test and collection of blood sample for IgE determination.
One of the secondary measurement was the wheal diameter for each allergen.
Time frame: SPT measurements were performed after the study visit, an expected average of 1 week.
