Allergy & Immunology Series – allergy testing
On-demand recorded 29 Apr 2020
Allergic diseases are common in Australia affecting around 20% of the population. With the current COVID-19 pandemic limiting the ability for face-to-face education, the planned one-day allergy and immunology face-to-face workshop has been broken down into a four-part webinar series. Topics including allergy testing, managing common allergic presentations, urticaria and managing food allergy in neonates and children.
This webinar, the first in the series, is on allergy testing and is facilitated by Dr Scott Preston and presented by Dr Aaron Chambers. It covers serum specific IgE testing including the appropriate panels to select and limitations. It also covers the indications and benefits for other allergy testing including skin prick and patch testing.
