Evaluation of a  modified skin prick test for diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy

ConclusionsSPT300 shows a  high but not substantially superior sensitivity utilizing both WV and BV extract for diagnosis of HV allergy compared to SPT100 and IDT1. However, since SPT300 with BV extract demonstrated a very low specificity, our results indicate that SPT300 has limited added value in the diagnosis of HV alle rgy.
