Serial Endpoint Titration is a method of testing the skin to determine the presence on allergic diseases.
Small amounts of diluted allergen extracts are injected into the skin. After waiting ten minutes, the skin is examined for a reaction. This procedure is repeated using two to three dilutions of the extracts, getting subsequently stronger each time. Once yoru skin reacts positively to a particular allergen(s), the test is complete.
Your testing should take about one and one half to two hours to complete. No eating, drinking, or smoking is allowed during your test.
Because this test requires a reaction of the skin, there are certain medications that must be discontinued prior to these tests. These medications may interfere with the skin’s ability to react.
