2 Fig. 1 Mean URSxs are displayed relative to test results. A mean symptom score of 0.5 or more (dashed line ) was considered positive. Group mean values are designated by the solid lines . P values comparing positive and negative test scores were less than for SPTs, .35 for IDSTs, and less than for RASTs. Pos , Positive; Neg , negative.

3 Fig. 2 Mean LRSxs are displayed relative to test results. A mean symptom score of 0.4 or more (dashed line ) was considered positive. Group mean values are designated by the solid lines . P values comparing positive and negative test scores were less than for SPTs, .89 for IDSTs, and less than for RASTs. Pos , Positive; Neg , negative.

4 Fig. 3 Maximum changes in FEV1 values are displayed relative to test results. A maximum fall of 15% or more (dashed line ) was considered positive. Group mean values are designated by the solid lines . P values comparing positive and negative test results were less than for SPTs, .63 for IDSTs, and less than for RASTs. Pos , Positive; Neg , negative. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (99) ) Copyright © 1999 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
