The standard approach for any medical care is a thorough medical history and physical examination to determine the suspected causes of a patient’s allergy symptoms – things like pollens, dust, or cats. The next step is an allergy skin test and to identify specific allergens,. These, along with a medical history, can correlate and lead to a specific diagnosis.
Once skin testing has been completed, and the patient’s specific allergens are identified, I do the initial allergy injections in my office. After a few doses, in most instances 4-5 visits, the patient can usually take the material home to administer injections. It is expected that the patient, or a family member, will be able to learn to administer injections. It is very rare for someone to be unable to do so.
Some practitioners also order blood tests to evaluate allergies. Studies have shown that blood tests are less sensitive than standard allergy skin tests. A result might appear “negative”, whereas a skin test might produce a “positive” result for an allergy. The gold standard for allergy testing is still the skin test.
