Fig 2 Wheal diameters in 144 subjects. Tested solutions were saline, histamine 10 mg/mL, and D pteronyssinus (D. pter.; ALK) in all subjects. Identical 72 subjects were positive (wheal diameter ≥3 mm) and 72 subjects were negative (wheal diameter <3 mm) for D pteronyssinus with both diagnostic methods. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient (r = 0.745) between SPT Tape and SPT in detecting D pteronyssinus allergy was statistically significant (P < .00).
