Sensitization patterns and minimum screening panels for aeroallergens in self-reported allergic rhinitis in China

Abstract Optimization of skin prick test (SPT) panels, especially in view of significant differences in sensitizations patterns within different geographical areas, is an unmet need within China. Our aim was to assess the patterns and clinical relevance of aeroallergen sensitizations in allergic rhi...
