A good correlation between intensity of prick test result and haematic levels of specific IgE is a fundamental presupposition to affirm that both diagnostic methods are equivalent to demonstrate a condition of IgE-mediate hypersensitivity. Using a retrospective analysis of our data, we intended to examine the degree of this correlation for the most common food and inhalant allergens. The comparison between prick test results and specific IgE haematic levels for all considered allergens-shows a good concordance of F.A.S.T. for prick negative results and a sharp discordance of F.A.S.T. for prick positive results. Both food and inhalant allergens are equally involved in the discordance between the tests. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility of clashing results between prick test reaction and specific IgE haematic levels, even in further analysis would be necessary to obtain more reliable verifications.
