Skin Prick Testing Enables The Identification Of Exact Allergen
There is a significant increase worldwide in allergy symptoms particularly among young children,
causing distress and anguish for both the child and the parents. Children’s allergies can show
up in different ways - skin rashes, asthma, hay fever or through food - it is also common to have
more than one type of allergy.
Dust, cats, cow’s milk and peanuts are some of the more common causes, but how do identify
the trigger? And what is the solution?
At the American Hospital Dubai, our pediatric doctors, specialized in allergy and respiratory
diseases, use the Skin Prick Test, which is the latest diagnostic tool that can isolate the exact
allergen causing the allergic symptoms. This allows us to provide the right advice. This simple
diagnosis method is suitable for children as it is relatively painless, more accurate than a blood
test and detects immediate allergic reactions within minutes.
Recognized as a progressive healthcare provider in the region, the American Hospital Dubai is
committed to improving the lives of children with allergies through its experienced and dedicated
doctors, state-of-the-art facilities and sophisticated diagnostic and treatment technologies.
