A Clinical Study on Local Reactions of BV and BVP Skin Test

Objectives : The purpose of the study was to observe local reactions of BV and BVP skin test, and to compare those between BV and BVP. Methods : We performed BV or BVP Skin test to 42 patients, and then we measured wheal and erytherma on skin test area by digital caliper after 15 minutes. Results :...

Summary:Objectives : The purpose of the study was to observe local reactions of BV and BVP skin test, and to compare those between BV and BVP. Methods : We performed BV or BVP Skin test to 42 patients, and then we measured wheal and erytherma on skin test area by digital caliper after 15 minutes. Results : 1. In BV Skin test, the mean size of wheals was 10.10±0.78mm and the mean size of erythermas was 29.85±6.23mm. 2. In BVP Skin test, the mean size of wheals was 7.05±3.20mm and the mean size of erythermas was 19.58±7.62mm. 3. The local reactions of BVP Skin test decreased significantly(p<0.01) than those of BV skin test.
