El contexto clínico del paciente es el punto decisivo antes de realizar cualquier tipo de prueba cutánea de alergia a alimentos; contextualizar y relacionar el cuadro clínico del paciente con el mecanismo inmunológico de las alergias mediadas por IgE permitirá una mejor selección de la prueba de alergia para cada caso. Las pruebas positivas deben interpretarse con más cuidado, y considerar que durante la infancia precoz es común que varios pacientes pueden tener pruebas IgE séricas especificas negativas en sangre para alérgenos alimentarios comparadas con las realizadas en piel, que resultan positivas. La prueba cutánea puede llevarse a cabo con estratos estandarizados de alimentos, pero no siempre se encuentran disponibles para todos los alimentos y algunos son muy inestables. Incluso pueden realizarse pruebas cutáneas con alimentos in natura, mediante la técnica prick to prick para efectuar la punción con alimentos frescos (especialmente con frutas o vegetales) u otros productos que no estén disponibles comercialmente. El skin prick test es una prueba donde después de haber colocado el extracto alergénico en gotas o con el propio alimento fresco debe llevarse a cabo la punción con una lanceta estandarizada.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Skin tests, also known as prick tests, in food allergies are restricted to IgE-mediated food allergies, with results that barely indicate sensitization to a certain food and do not necessarily suggest food allergy. The clinical context of the patient is the decisive point before performing any type of food allergy skin test; Contextualizing and relating the patient's clinical picture with the immunological mechanism of IgE-mediated allergies will allow a better selection of the allergy test for each case. Positive tests should be interpreted more carefully, and consider that during early childhood it is common that several patients may have negative specific serum IgE tests in the blood for food allergens compared to those performed on the skin, which are positive. Skin testing can be carried out with standardized strata of foods, but they are not always available for all foods and some are very unstable. Skin tests can even be performed with raw foods, using the prick to prick technique to perform the puncture with fresh foods (especially fruits or vegetables) or other products that are not commercially available. The skin prick test is a test where, after having placed the allergenic extract in drops or with fresh food itself, the puncture must be carried out with a standardized lancet.]]></p></abstract>
