Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diallertest® allergy patch tests. Three Diallertest® patches will be applied to the skin on the child’s back: one with milk protein, one with wheat protein and a ‘control’ patch with no allergen. The patch will be removed at 48 hours and the site of application examined 24 hours later to record any reaction. A positive reaction consists of a 1-2 cm area of localized redness at the contact site. No itch, pain or discomfort should occur.
