Allergic conjunctivitis and conjunctival provocation tests in atopic dogs.
INTRODUCTION Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a very common disease, but little is known about eye involvement. The conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is used in human to study the ocular response to allergenic stimuli and to evaluate anti-allergic therapy. To our knowledge it has not been used in dogs. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of ocular signs in a population of atopic dogs and...
متن کاملComparison of conjunctival and nasal provocation tests in allergic rhinitis children with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus sensitization.
BACKGROUND Nasal provocation tests (NPTs) are indicated in confirming the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis if the clinical history, skin tests or sIgE are inconclusive. NPTs are time- consuming, technically difficult and expensive to perform. Consequently, conjunctival provocation tests (CPTs), which are easier, cheaper and safer should be considered as an alternative method. No recent study has ...
متن کاملEvaluation of systemic provocation tests in patients with suspected allergic and pseudoallergic drug reactions.
In order to examine the diagnostic value of systemic provocation tests, we studied 56 inpatients hospitalized for identification of the agent eliciting previous severe allergic or pseudoallergic reactions to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local anaesthetics or antibiotics. Skin tests were positive in only 4 patients reacting to antibiotics and propyphenazone and were always negative for...
متن کاملQuantitative conjunctival provocation test for controlled clinical trials.
BACKGROUND The conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is a diagnostic procedure for the assessment of allergic diseases. Photographs are taken before and after provocation increasing the redness of the conjunctiva due to hyperemia. OBJECTIVE We propose and evaluate an automatic image processing pipeline for objective and quantitative CPT. METHOD After scale normalization based on intrinsic ima...
متن کاملEuclidean Norm in Composite Severity Score to Evaluate an Allergic Reaction from Conjunctival Provocations
The conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is a diagnostic procedure for testing airborne allergens causing allergic rhinoconjunctivitis [1,2]. It has been thoroughly evaluated with regard to its precision [3] and compared with nasal provocation tests [4]. Nowadays, the CPT is used for evaluation of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis [5,6] and is accepted by regulatory authorities as an outcome paramete...
